Our Combination Massages employ the healing art of Acupressure… an ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that targets specific points (Acupoints) along the body’s energy pathways or meridians. The therapist will utilize her fingers, palms, forearms and elbows, some in combination with one another, to skillfully press and hold firm pressure on key points… points which stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities—an ancient technique that is often described as “acupuncture without needles.”
When your session begins, these trigger points along your body’s pathways and meridians will be gently or firmly pressed… which will release the muscular tension and promote circulation of blood, stimulate nerve endings, and release endorphins which assist the body’s life force energy to aid in pain relief and healing. Acupuncture and Acupressure use the same triggering pressure points and meridians—while acupuncture employs needles, acupressure uses gentle to firm pressure and integrates bodywork therapies, therapeutic touch and other massage therapy techniques.
So that you may choose the Acupressure therapy areas that best fit your body’s individual needs, Wendy’s offers a wonderful selection of Combination massage areas that focus on specific areas of your body:
If you do not see the specific areas of the body you want your Acupressure treatment to be focused on—just show us on the diagram we’ll provide.
Many of our customers choose to add Stones or Cupping, sometimes both, to their Combination massage… while the therapist’s focused therapy work is on one part of the body, Stones and/or Cupping can be applied to the other areas—allowing the whole body to benefit from the use of multiple therapies.
All of our Combination Massages use Acupressure therapy combined with hot or cold towels.
