Acupressure
About This Therapy
Acupressure is a traditional pressure based therapeutic practice that uses the fingers, thumbs, palms, or specialised tools to apply controlled pressure to specific points on the body. Closely associated with traditional Asian healing systems, it focuses on stimulating selected pressure points to encourage relaxation, ease muscular tension, and support the body's natural regulatory processes. At Kanasu, Acupressure is personalised according to individual symptoms, physical condition, and wellness objectives. Unlike acupuncture, it does not involve needles, making it a gentle and non-invasive approach that can be used independently or alongside other therapeutic practices.

How It Works
The session begins with an assessment of your primary concerns, areas of tension, lifestyle factors, and treatment objectives. The practitioner identifies specific pressure points relevant to your needs and applies controlled pressure using the fingertips, thumbs, or palms. Pressure may be sustained, rhythmic, or applied through gentle circular movements depending on the selected points and therapeutic objective. The treatment is performed while you remain comfortably seated or lying down, with pressure adjusted according to your comfort level. Acupressure may also be integrated with other Kanasu therapies as part of a personalised wellness program.
