Acupressure in Mahopac
Acupressure is used to balance energy in the body, promote healing, and foster optimal well-being. Unlike acupuncture, acupressure achieves the same great results without needles, perfect for patients who prefer a needle-free approach.
How Acupressure Works
Using firm rotary pressure with her fingers or a specialized instrument, Dr. Kennedy works on acupressure points throughout your entire body. This isn’t limited to just extremities; she treats points on your back, head, hands, and feet to address your whole system.
The technique removes blocked energy and restores flow where it’s been stagnant. This helps strengthen muscles and support healthy organ function, as each meridian is associated with specific organs in the body. By balancing these energy pathways, acupressure becomes a powerful tool for whole-body healing.
Safe and Effective Treatment
Acupressure is generally considered safe for everyone, with no reported side effects. Dr. Kennedy can perform this treatment on patients of all ages. For pregnant women, she simply avoids certain points that could stimulate uterine contractions, making it a safe option during pregnancy as well.
Part of a Comprehensive Approach
Dr. Kennedy received her acupressure training through her Professional Applied Kinesiology certification program. While acupressure is essential for getting lasting relief, it’s not meant to be a stand-alone treatment. It works best as part of a comprehensive, total body approach that addresses all aspects of your health.
During your appointment, muscle testing guides Dr. Kennedy in determining whether acupressure is what your body needs that day, along with other therapies such as massage, reflexology, or chiropractic adjustments. This personalized approach ensures that you get exactly what your body needs for optimal healing and lasting results.
