Why Acupressure Hurts So Good

Posted by Tracii H.

Acupressure, usually performed using the thumb and fingers, can have some amazing effects on health and wellbeing, but the truth is, it can be pretty painful. Areas needing special attention can sometimes be mildly to moderately painful when pressure is applied and it may be that they require extra pressure to relieve the problem. While acupressure may be somewhat painful at times, it should never cause extreme or lasting pain and, when done correctly, should cause a deep feeling of calmness and release as blocked energy is dispelled.
