Acupressure, Myofascial Release, Massage - Salt Spring Island

Five Elements Acupressure relieves Pain, Tension, Stress, Grief, Fatigue, Insomnia, assists with Injuries, illness, and promotes recovery. Acupressure is 5,000 years old and is the precursor of acupuncture. Five Elements Acupressure blends Japanese finger pressure techniques, Acupuncture theory, Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, and Five Element theory, which is based on the natural cycles in t

he environment and within ourselves.
• Gentle yet deep sustained finger pressure is applied to the same points on the body that are used in acupuncture. The stimulation of these points can relieve pain, tension, stress, grief, fatigue, insomnia, assist with injuries, illness, and promote recovery.
• The client remains clothed (except in a combined Massage-Acupressure treatment), lying on a comfortable, padded massage table. No needles are used, only finger pressure.
• Acupressure accesses the body's innate ability to heal, and creates profound, energized, deep relaxation with lasting effect. It releases endorphins, increases circulation, can strengthen weaknesses, and prevent health disorders.The body, mind, and spirit are inextricably connected. Five Element Acupressure is designed to discover the root cause of discomfort in the body, mind, and spirit. Each treatment is tailored to the client’s specific needs.
