Equine Acupressure

Background:

The stimulation done by fine needles in acupuncture is done with fingertip pressure in acupressure. The meridian system (energy pathways) in the body has 350 points known as acupuncture or acupressure points. A blockage of energy flow along a meridian results in health problems and disease. Acupressure re-balances Yin & Yang, excess and deficiency.
