Acupressure/Shiatsu/Meridian with Nicolette Neuford 

Acupressure/shiatsu massage utilizes various light and firm pressure along the meridian or energy lines of the muscle. Meridian lines correspond with our nerve pathways. 

The treatment pairs nicely with alternating Swedish massage techniques and body reflexology / polarity therapy. 

Acupressure points are reflex centers that when pressed can not only release tension in the area but also refer a release of tension in other areas of the body.

Ayurvedic Nadi points are part of a 3,000 - 5,000 year old holistic healing system originating in India. Traditional Chinese Medicine acupressure points are part of a 2,500 year old holistic healing system originating in China. Both philosophies are based on balancing vital energy or life force. Through trial and error these systems created a template of points that referred healing to the site and other parts of the body. 

Science can now measure this internal energy. Our nerves are energy. Our brain is energy. Without either we cease to function.

The treatment aims to release muscle tension around these points and with this release the blocked energy can flow back to its balanced state. In this balanced state optimum healing and maintenance of health occurs. ​
