Who is acupressure treatment suitable for?
Acupressure is an individually adaptable and gentle treatment method suitable for anyone seeking holistic health and exploring an alternative healing approach. Unlike acupuncture, which is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine in Basel, our Basel practice is completely non-invasive, ensuring a pleasant and relaxing treatment.
Acupressure is a traditional Chinese healing method (TCM) based on the belief that certain points on the body can regulate the flow of Qi, the vital life energy. These points are typically located along the meridians, the body's energy pathways. By applying targeted pressure to these points, blockages can be released and the balance of Yin and Yang within the body can be restored.
During an acupressure treatment, you will be placed comfortably on a therapy table. The treatment can be performed over your clothing with a cloth or directly on the skin with oil, depending on your preference. The acupressure therapist uses their fingers, palms, elbows, or special tools to apply gentle pressure to selected acupressure points. The pressure is applied in a rhythmic and relaxed manner, with a focus on balancing the energy in the meridians and releasing blockages.
Acupressure can be used to treat a variety of complaints, including:
-
Pain relief: Acupressure can be effective for headaches, neck, back, and joint pain. In our society, these pains often stem from Qi blockages. The performance pressure we experience in our work life, at school, or in relationships promotes such blockages and not only leads to physical discomfort but can also affect our emotions and overall well-being.
-
Stress reduction: By activating specific points, acupressure massage in Basel can help reduce stress and promote deep relaxation. It is not uncommon for clients to fall asleep during an acupressure session with us in Basel. This is a good sign, as it indicates that the body has found a way to self-regulate.
-
Improved sleep: Treating certain acupoints can help alleviate sleep disturbances and improve sleep quality. This does not only refer to difficulties falling asleep, but also to issues like staying asleep, sensations of heat or cold during sleep, night sweats, intense or disturbing dreams, and frequent nighttime urination. Healthy sleep is extremely important to us, and it is equally important to have a solution when sleep becomes disrupted.
-
Relief of nausea: Acupressure is often used to reduce nausea and vomiting, particularly with motion sickness or morning sickness. It can also be effective for nausea during pregnancy, menstruation, or heartburn and reflux caused by stress or muscle dysfunction, and these issues can often be effectively treated through acupressure.
-
Support for digestion: Targeted acupressure can stimulate digestion and help relieve problems such as bloating, constipation, or other digestive disorders.
Acupressure is a safe and natural treatment method that is often used as part of a holistic approach to health to promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
