Acupressure is an energetic healing therapy based on the 4,000 year old concept of Qi (Chi) defined as “vital life force energy” that circulates throughout the human or animal body. In traditional Chinese medicine, health is indicated by the balance of Qi flowing through the internal organs, bones, and soft tissues. Any disruption of the harmonious flow of Qi can result in a breakdown of the immune system causing illness and energetic imbalances that can lead to injury.

Acupressure promotes healing in the body by stimulating specific points with hands or fingers to resolve blockages along the energy pathways. When Qi flows smoothly, harmony is restored and healing can occur.

Acupressure is safe, gentle, non-invasive and extremely powerful. Animal athletes are ideal recipients of acupressure to enhance strength while maintaining flexibility of their tendons and joints. Acupressure supports animals suffering from acute conditions or who are rehabilitating from surgery or injury. Our senior friends are excellent candidates for maintenance sessions as acupressure has proven to be extremely beneficial for arthritis, gastro-intestinal and metabolic conditions, and other health problems that tend to trouble older animals.
