How Acupressure Works

Just as it’s natural to feel muscle strain from overdoing exercise, Acupressure is the natural way to help muscles, tendons and joints recover and heal from exertion.

Gentle pressures on specific Acupressure points enable the body to regain health and build strength. Although all exercise stimulates the body’s rebuilding process which creates strength and stamina, regular Acupressure sessions accelerates the healing and building of stronger muscles, joints and bones.

When rapid change of weather affects an animal, he can become unbalanced and show subtle signs of impending disease such as nasal discharge, conjunctivitis, poor or patchy hair coat and dry chipped nails or hooves. When AcAcupressure is applied at this stage of illness – instead of letting disease take hold – the animal can ward off pathogens, so no training or competition time is lost.

Balancing the Meridians through Acupressure helps animals stay sound and healthy.

Although you may see an immediate result from your animal’s Acupressure session, chronic conditions may require several sessions before resolution. Since it took longer than an hour for the condition to manifest, most chronic conditions take time to heal.

The Energy or Chi flows throughout the body’s Meridians in 24 hours. The day after an Acupressure session your animal may seem “worse” as the body is working at becoming balanced. This balancing act can disrupt other energy pathways until all the blockages and stagnations are cleared.

Whether your horse or dog needs one Acupressure session or several over the course of months depends on several factors such as: age, whether the condition is chronic or acute, living/training conditions, diet, weather, stress levels and any of a myriad of factors that affect a living being.

Regular preventive Acupressure sessions can help your animal have a strong immune system and healthy bones, joints and muscles, so that injury and disease are not accepted occurrences.
