The acupressure points are what helps release stagnated energy and energy blockages. the energetic pathways are called Sen. The therapist will manipulate your body and stimulate organs to improve flexibility. It can be painful no correction It will be painful and hurt while getting a massage but after that you become balanced, you will start to feel better.
