Acupressure is based on the same concepts as acupuncture. There are six pairs of meridians where chi, or life force energy, flows. Along these meridians lie specific acupoints which correspond to physical or emotional conditions. These acupoints are manipulated to remove energy blockages and promote the flow of chi.
