Acupressure
A type of massage in which finger pressure on specific body sites is used to promote healing, relieve fatigue, etc. Although the anatomical locations are the same as the acupuncture points used in acupuncture therapy (hence acu-), no needle or other acupuncture technique is employed in acupressure. Shiatsu is a modern outgrowth that focuses more on prevention than healing.
