A Stroke of Genius

Acupressure is an excellent form of massage for those uncomfortable with undressing for treatment or for when the application of oils and other inconveniences of a full massage are not appropriate.

Acupressure follows the same meridians, or line-zones around the body, as acupuncture, but is a needle-free treatment. It involves pushes with the palm and heel of the hand and leaning pressures in very specific areas which trigger the body to release tension. Very deep pressure can be exerted because the fact that this treatment  is through-clothing means it has the effect of feeling smoother, so there is less likelihood of tensing against the pressure which can be experienced with some therapists using deep tissue techniques. It is a particularly effective technique for back, neck and shoulder pain and for releasing tight hamstrings.

Acupressure is deeply relaxing because of the stroking and kneading effect created and yet it is still incredibly effective at releasing tension and relieving stress and pain. Zen Ten Spa uses the widest range of acupressure techniques of any spa in the UK sourced from global therapies as diverse as Hawaiian Lomi massage and Japanese Shiatsu.
