Acupressure is a generic term coined by Westerners to describe any health art involving the simple application of pressure to the traditional acu-points. Acu-points are the points used in Acupressure and Acupuncture. Jin Shin Do® is much more than basics, yet in its basic form it may be the most accessible form of self-acupressure.
