First, let’s know,
First, let’s understand the theory behind acupressure
Acupressure is an ancient technique of massage utilized in traditional Chinese medicine as one of the therapy modalities. The purpose of acupressure is to promote qi (life energy) flow through the body’s 14 meridians.
These are the same energy meridians and acupoints that acupuncture targets. According to Chinese medicine theory, a person’s health depends on a steady flow of qi through these channels. When this energy flow is disrupted, the body is unable to maintain the balance required to sustain high energy levels and deal with health problems.
Pressing the acupuncture points to aid the free passage of energy in the meridian is referred to as acupressure. Acupressure is similar to acupuncture.However, instead of needles, Healer Siddique Shaikh, a competent acupuncturist in Mumbai Central,works the point with his fingertips. When the right acupuncture point is pressed duringtreatment, a person will feel mild pain.

What happens during an acupressure session?
At Health Care Center, acupressure treatment is performed by Siddique Shaikh, a renowned acupressure doctor in Mumbai,with the patient seated or lying down on a massage table.
The treatment is primarily performed by applying gentle but firm pressure to a point with the thumb, finger, knuckle, or elbow. Sometimes, it may also involve acupressure massage or stretching. Generally, the session lasts for around an hour, and you will need multiple sessions for positive results.
Thistreatment aims to restore balance and well-being to the body’s meridians and regulate the negative and positive energy forces.
In what ways does acupressure work?
Acupressure releases qi by applying pressure to particular spots on the body. As there are approximately 650 individual pressure points and 365 points on the major meridians, pressure application demands precision. Each meridian has a network of connections, similar to the circulatory system’s network of vessels.
Siddique Shaikh, a renowned acupressure doctor in Mumbai, uses many methods to regulate qi in the meridians.Tonify, calm, and disperse are some of these approaches. For example, he will tonify a weak qi, calm the overactive qi, and disperse the blocked qi.
The applied pressure is mostly held for several seconds to minutes. After that, the practitioner may apply circular pressure, push the acupoint in and out, or combine these techniques.Acupressure should not be painful, even if the sites manipulated are sensitive.
