Acupressure is a specific massage technique that aims to decrease pain, clear tension in muscles, increase blood circulation and promote deep states of relaxation. Acupressure can be effective to relieve headaches, back ache and help to manage conditions such as fibromyalgia.

The acupressure technique also aids healing within soft tissues so that recovery is increased. Massage therapists  effectively use acupressure to treat many muscular problems.
