This therapy traces its roots back to ancient China. The country is famous for this approach to natural healing. Traditional Chinese medicine centers around nature, energies, and the overall functioning of the human body. It\u2019s considered a popular alternative to western medicine.

They\u2019re similar where they both aim at treating body pain or tension. But unlike massage, acupressure is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese medicine like the qi. The qi is essentially thought to be the energy life force that flows through the human body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wondering what a first massage appointment is like? Take a peek in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/blog\/us\/massage-the-first-appointment\/\">this blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eastern specialists base their practice on the flow of energy, while Western specialists use the anatomy of the muscle system and nerve pathways. Though acupressure can include some of the same strokes or movements as a massage, it primarily involves applying pressure to trigger points. In Traditional Chinese medicine, the feet are referred to as the \u201csecond heart\u201d. The theory of&nbsp;<strong>acupressure for the feet stems from the belief that pressure on a specific point on the foot will stimulate an organ that\u2019s associated with that receptor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29083419\/acupressure2.jpg\" alt=\"What is acupressure for the feet?\" class=\"wp-image-43215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29083419\/acupressure2.jpg 650w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29083419\/acupressure2-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"acupressure-vs-reflexology\"><\/span>Acupressure vs. reflexology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflexology and acupressure support the theory of the flow of the qi and use pressure and stimulation, their pressure points don\u2019t always coincide with one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reflexology \u201cfoot map\u201d allows the practitioner to target general zones. On the other hand, acupressure targets more than 800 individual pressure points along the body. This allows for more specialized treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cdl.booksy.com\/cpTFGzib0sb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"whats-a-foot-acupressure-session-like\"><\/span>What\u2019s a foot acupressure session like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First-session acupressure treatments are divided into several stages. The first step is a patient interview.&nbsp;<strong>A consult with your acupressure therapist allows them to get to know your body\u2019s ailments and tailor your treatment to your needs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is followed by a diagnostic massage which includes elements of stroking and receptor testing. During your diagnostic foot examination, your acupressure therapist will also check for any pressure points that may need extra attention. Then, they will follow up with your acupressure session by applying pressure to the affected points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s interesting here is, that the order in which your therapist presses the points is also important. Some therapists will target pressure points connected to the kidney and bladder because it is believed to help cleanse the body\u2019s toxins faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The head and stomach receptors follow. Then is the liver, and the pancreas\u2014which aim to stimulate the metabolism. The lymphatic system is the next step. The service concludes by targeting any other area that is painful.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29083501\/acupressure.jpg\" alt=\"What\u2019s a foot acupressure session like?\" class=\"wp-image-43220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29083501\/acupressure.jpg 650w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29083501\/acupressure-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-acupressure-safe\"><\/span>Is acupressure safe?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Acupressure touts wide-ranging benefits.
