Guide To Finding Your Pressure Points

 

Pressure points are very important in the field of acupressure - they are extremely sensitive parts of the body where, if you apply pressure, can provide a great number of benefits from relieving pain to improving your health.

But how do you find pressure points?

Finding Your Pressure Points

If you’re getting massage therapy or any sort of acupressure treatment with a professional, you don’t have to do anything for it, because your therapist will know where these points are and do their job of applying pressure to them.

But it’s still useful to know where these pressure points are so that you know what to expect - and how to find them, if need be.

There are hundreds of pressure points all over your body, but the most common ones used to resolve problems are on:

● Your hands

● Your feet

Hands

There are eight pressure points on your hands that can be found:

● In the crease of your wrist

● In the depression of your hand just below your pinky finger on the side

● Going down your thumb to the wrist

● On your wrist

● At the base of the thumb

● In the skin between thumb and index finger

Each of these points serve a different purpose, and your acupressure therapist would know exactly which points to stimulate given the condition you are seeking therapy for.

Feet

The feet have the most pressure points in comparison to any other part of your body - so many that you wouldn’t really be able to find them on your own, let alone remember them. There are points on your toes, on the different parts of the sole, between the toes, between each individual toe, and whatnot. Finding each point would be very tricky, especially since there aren’t just a lot of points, they’re also very close together.

Your acupressure therapist, however, is a trained professional, so they would know where each of the points are and how they affect different parts of your body. If you’re taking massage therapy, you can rest assured that your therapist can handle all parts of your relaxation for you.
