ABOUT ACUPRESSURE Acupressure
is the art of assessing and then releasing
blocked or congested energy centers in the
body, thus making way for a symmetric flow
of energy. Acupressure is an ancient system
that has been practiced in India and China
for centuries. Traditionally, Asian cultures
conceived the points as junctures of special
pathways that carry human energy. Western
scientists have also mapped out and proven
the existence of this system of body points
by using sensitive electrical devices. Modernization
of society has made life hectic, strenuous,
challenging and competitive. This constantly
changing environment has taken its toll,
and with the resultant increase of stress-related
illnesses amongst the old and young, Acupressure
offers much needed remedies.
HOW IT WORKS
Stimulating the acupressure points with
pressure, causes the effect of reverse stimuli
enhancing the coordination of mind and body.
The stimuli further promote and trigger
the neurotransmitters responsible for muscle
function. As a result the functionality
of the muscle is established and the pain
is eased. The above is understood in the
traditional approach as “blocked or
constricted flow of energy to the affected
area”.
At Dr. Sarvotham's Clinic,
pressure is applied using the thumbs for
a few seconds in sequential order, designed
to awaken the meridians. It is further supported
by stretching, breathing and quick de-polarization
/ re-polarization. This technique helps
in relaxing the condition, increasing the
energy levels in both mind and body.
Besides relieving pain, acupressure can
help in balancing the body by dissolving
tensions and stresses that inhibit the immune
system and keep it from functioning smoothly.
Proper circulation of bio-electrical energies
promotes harmony, health, and well-being.
ACUCRANIO
CranioSacral Therapy originating in the
early 1900’s is the science of feeling
the motion of the cranial bones and the
pulse of the body caused by the movement
of the cerebrospinal fluids that maintain
the balance of the nervous system. This
unique technique, incorporated with acupressure,
is called Acu-Cranio and
is designed to reduce stress levels and
eliminate related dysfunctions.
UNDERSTANDING STRESS
Stress is part of the normal fabric of
human existence. Stress is a pattern of
disruptive psychological and physiological
functioning. When an environmental event,
social, professional or familial, is perceived
as a threat or when the challenge exceeds
the capacity to adapt, then stress develops.
Stress disrupts emotional stability, cognitive
functioning and even the body's normal physiological
activities. Long term stress, left unattended,
could lead to various physical and psychological
illnesses, such as body aches, headaches,
depression, anxiety, spondylitis, back pain,
etc. The cost of stress in terms of human
suffering, social and occupational impairment
and illness are enormous. Acupressure is
one of the most effective methods to cope
with and treat stress related ailments.
