What is the biggest hurdle a practitioner of any of the 'touch' therapies has to jump?    How something so simple, so painless, so...... nothing.... can work.    But it does.   Even if a person doesn't feel that 'frisson' running down a leg or tingling in the toes or fingers, it is still working.

The younger you are - yes, there is a prejudice to age in acupressure as in many things - the faster symptoms reverse themselves.   The reason is simple, younger cells react quicker than older cells on the average.   So younger people often feel "healed" in one session, while older, more chronic conditions often take more time.   By the same rule, a condition that is very new will often correct in only one treatment, or just two - even in an older person.    The lesson being - call in the early stages of symptoms and they will often clear immediately.

But getting back on track:    how can something - that feels like nothing - work?!

Acupressure is one of the foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine, an over 5000 year old healing tradition.   It works by increasing circulation to areas of the body that have become congested, or stagnated, and the circulation compromised. 

 This can happen many different ways - injury or by the slow deterioration of circulation because of improper nutrition, lack of exercise or stress.   All have been documented as causes in chronic ailments.   Acupressure, acupuncture and many other bodywork therapies have been documented to be very beneficial for chronic health issues as well as acute ones.   Simplistically, it works by connected the dots (acupoint) along the meridian lines.
