Equine Acupressure Certification Course

Course Overview:

Acupressure is an upcoming modality that harbours various benefits in the animals that receive it. With acupressure, it mimics the treatment of Acupuncture – which is a widely popular treatment used alongside western medicine to aid in animal well-being and have amazing healing affects. 

Acupressure uses pressure at specific acupoints along meridian channels that are identified in Traditional Chinese Medicine. By stimulating these points, energy and blood flow can be restored which can have an affect on the entire body. Not only does acupressure unblock Chi restrictions but can also relieve pain as the pressure stimulation causes the body to release opioids.

Acupressure is based off the traditional Chinese medicine beliefs that everything in the body is intertwined and connected and that when one thing is unbalanced or broken, it carries over to the entire body.

Benefits in any animal include:

• Build up the immune system
