The Art of Acupressure Diagnosis By Touch

Would you ever believe that someone could diagnose what is wrong with you simply be touching you? It's possible, with the ancient art of acupressure. Acupressure is a method of diagnosing an illness or condition by reading the flow of energy through the body. Interestingly, acupressure plays both the diagnostic and treatment roles in the process.

Of course, before anyone can ever be treated they must first be diagnosed. In an acupressure treatment facility acupressure is used first to diagnose what is wrong with the patient. Acupressure is based on the theory that the body has fourteen meridians travel through it. Each of these meridians is attached to a specific body organ. When a meridian develops a blockage the body is adversely affected and diagnosing and removing the blockage through acupressure is the best way to cure the patient.

An acupressure specialist will tell you that the energy meridians of the body are imaginary; a concept that seems strange to the uninitiated but is a vital fact in acupressure. A malfunctioning meridian is diagnosed by reading pulses, also imaginary, in the meridians. These pulses can only be read by a trained acupressure practitioner.
