Q1. How does it work? A1. Unlike acupuncture, seated acupressure massage does not use needles. Instead, I use my hands to stimulate the energy points which can be found all along the meridians, or energy lines, of the body. I use a specific sequence of movements, which are designed to improve the flow of energy throughout the body and balance and strengthen the body’s muscular, circulatory and nervous systems. Q2. What does it involve? A2. You, being fully dressed, sitting facing forward in a ergonomically designed massage chair. As you relax and rest your chin and forehead on a thickly padded platform designed for the purpose, I use my hands and fingers to apply pressure to the acupressure points on your head, neck, shoulders, upper arms and spine. The sequence of movements (called a kata) takes about twenty minutes from start to finish, and leaves you feeling relaxed, refreshed and energised. Q3. What is it good for? A3. Seated acupressure massage is excellent for relieving stress and tension and encouraging knotted, tight muscles to loosen up. It helps with backache, repetitive strain injury, asthma, headaches, migraines, toothache, fatigue, sinus problems, menstrual pain, digestive problems, eyestrain, anxiety, irritability and insomnia. Q4. What are the benefits? A4. Many individuals, corporations and businesses are now encouraging their staff to take a twenty-minute break to experience the relaxing benefits of on-site massage. Clients report that after seated acupressure they feel energised and refreshed. Q5. What are the side effects and when should it be avoided? A5. Seated acupressure massage is gentle and non-invasive so it is suitable for everyone. Be sure to tell me if you have had any recent fractures or sprains, or if you suffer from diabetes or any other long-standing medical condition. |
