What is Acupressure
Acupressure Therapy in Penrith

Natural Pain Relief. Better Movement. Lasting Wellbeing.

​

​​​

What Is Acupressure?

Acupressure is a hands-on therapy that uses targeted pressure on specific points

throughout the body to release muscle tension, improve circulation, support the nervous

system and encourage the body's natural healing processes. Unlike massage, which

often focuses on relaxing muscles, or dry needling, which targets individual trigger

points, acupressure looks at how the entire body works together. Restrictions in one

area can create pain somewhere else, so treatment is designed to restore balance

across the whole body.

​

Every treatment is tailored to your individual needs, ensuring your therapy addresses not only where you feel pain, but also the underlying factors contributing to it.

​

​

How Can Acupressure Help?

 

Acupressure therapy may assist with a wide range of conditions, including:

​

  • Back pain

  • Neck pain

  • Shoulder pain

  • Hip pain

  • Knee pain

  • Sciatica

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Muscle tightness

  • Sports injuries

  • Arthritis

  • Joint stiffness

  • Stress and tension

  • Fatigue

  • Poor posture

  • Reduced flexibility

  • Recovery after physical activity

 

Whether your discomfort has developed gradually over time or is the result of an injury, treatment is designed around your individual

circumstances.

​

​

Our Difference

Looking Beyond the Pain

​

Many therapies focus only on where it hurts. At Jade Health Group, we ask a different question:

 

Why does it hurt?

 

Pain in your shoulder may originate from restrictions through your back. Lower back

pain may be influenced by your hips, feet or movement patterns. Neck tension may

be linked to stress, posture or muscle imbalances.

Rather than simply chasing symptoms, we assess how your whole body moves and

functions to identify contributing factors. This whole-body approach helps provide

longer-lasting results while supporting better movement and improved wellbeing.

​

​

Your Personalised Treatment Plan

No two people experience pain in exactly the same way. That's why every client

receives an individual assessment before treatment begins.

​

Your treatment plan may include:

​

  • Comprehensive consultation

  • Movement assessment

  • Muscle and joint assessment

  • Whole-body acupressure treatment

  • Targeted work for problem areas

  • Education about contributing factors

  • Self-management advice

  • Maintenance recommendations where appropriate

 

Our aim is to empower you with a better understanding of your body while helping reduce pain and improve everyday function.

​

​

What Happens During Your First Appointment?

Many people feel uncertain before trying acupressure for the first time. Knowing what to expect can help you feel more comfortable.

​

Step 1 – Consultation

We'll discuss your health history, current concerns, lifestyle and goals.

​

Step 2 – Assessment

Your posture, movement patterns and areas of restriction will be assessed to gain a clearer understanding of what may be contributing

to your symptoms.

​

Step 3 – Treatment

Using gentle but effective pressure techniques, treatment is tailored specifically to your needs.

​

Step 4 – Education

You'll receive practical advice to help support your recovery between appointments.

​

Step 5 – Ongoing Care

If further treatment would benefit you, we'll explain our recommendations and work with you to create a plan that suits your goals.

There is never any obligation for ongoing treatment—our recommendations are always based on your individual needs.

Does acupressure hurt?

Most clients describe the treatment as firm but comfortable. Some areas may feel sore where muscles are particularly tight, but treatment is always adjusted to your comfort level.

​

Is acupressure safe?

Acupressure is, a non-invasive therapy suitable for many people. Your practitioner will discuss your medical history to ensure treatment is appropriate for you.

 

What should I wear?

Loose, comfortable clothing is recommended to allow easy movement during your assessment and treatment.
