Acupressure and Meridian Massage in Edmonton
When your body feels out of balance, you notice it everywhere. Energy dips, tension lingers, sleep suffers, and stress feels harder to shake. What if you could reset that balance naturally?
Acupressure and meridian massage offer a time-tested way to restore flow, release built-up tension, and leave you feeling lighter and more centered. At Healing Oasis Massage & Wellness, our therapists specialize in this holistic therapy, blending traditional techniques with modern expertise to create an experience that supports both body and mind.
What Is Acupressure and Meridian Massage?
Acupressure and meridian massage is a therapeutic method rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It works on the belief that energy, or “qi,” flows through channels in your body called meridians. When that energy is blocked or unbalanced, you may experience pain, stress, or fatigue. By applying gentle yet precise pressure to key points along the meridians, this therapy encourages energy to flow freely again.
Unlike acupuncture, which uses needles, acupressure relies only on touch. Our therapists use fingers, palms, and sometimes elbows to stimulate specific points. The result is a deeply relaxing massage that feels both restorative and rejuvenating, all while encouraging natural healing from within.
