Acupressure  

Acupressure is an alternative medicine technique similar to Acupuncture. It is based on the concept of life energy which flows through "meridians" in the body. In treatment, physical pressure is applied to acupuncture points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians. Pressure may be applied by hand, by elbow, or with various devices.

It may be effective at helping manage nausea and vomiting, for helping lower back pain, tension headaches, stomach ache, among other things. It may probably not be as effective as acupuncture, but some claim it provides temporary relief.

Duties and responsibilities: An acupressure career requires advanced training in anatomy, physiology, Chinese medicine and the unique techniques involved in acupressure therapy.
