Acupressure vs. Relaxation Massage: What's the Difference?
When it comes to massage, there are many different types to choose from. Two of the most popular options are acupressure and relaxation massage. Both offer a variety of benefits, but they have different goals and use different techniques.

What are the differences between acupressure and relaxation massage?
The main difference between acupressure and relaxation massage is the goal of the treatment. Acupressure is used to treat specific conditions, while relaxation massage is used to promote overall relaxation and well-being.
Another difference between the two techniques is the amount of pressure that is used. Acupressure typically uses more pressure than relaxation massage.
Acupressure aims to address medical conditions by applying pressure with thumbs, fingers, or tools to specific pain points, stimulating circulation, and regulating the nervous system. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic pain and stiffness, especially those seeking relief in areas of tension such as office syndrome.

Which type of massage is right for me?
The best type of massage for you will depend on your individual needs and goals. If you are looking for a treatment to help with a specific condition, acupressure may be a good option. If you are looking for a way to relax and reduce stress, relaxation massage may be a better choice.
Both acupressure and relaxation massage can offer a variety of benefits. If you are not sure which type of massage is right for you, You can consult with our massage therapist.
