ACU PRESSURE-BREATHING


It is important to be in a relaxed and comfortable position during acupressure and to maintain relaxed, full, breathing throughout. Generally, acupressure is applied during exhalation as this helps to tonify and activate the acupoint. In cases of severe pain, swelling or inflammation, however, you may get better results if the acupressure is applied on inhalation as this helps to sedate the point and can lead to a reduction in symptoms.
