Acupressure-massage is the original Chinese meridian massage. It is one of the essential forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). These ancient hands-on techniques are used to resolve pain, increase blood flow, enhance flexibility of tendons and ligaments, nourish bones, while supporting the animal’s emotional wellbeing.

Acupressure-massage techniques are characterized as “families” that include multiple techniques within each family. These families are direct pressure, pushing, kneading, grasping, rubbing, vibrating, and gentle knocking.

The Tallgrass presentation provides demonstrations of hands-on techniques plus discusses how the benefits of acupressure-massage best complement an animal rehabilitation session.
