Acupressure therapy applies sustained, precise finger and thumb pressure to acupuncture points to produce therapeutic effects without needles. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry uses acupressure as part of treatment sessions and teaches patients specific acupressure protocols they can apply at home between appointments — extending the therapeutic effect of clinical treatment into daily life.
How Acupressure Therapy Works
Acupressure uses the same point locations as acupuncture, applying sustained pressure for 1–3 minutes per point with sufficient force to activate the point. Dr. Hendry uses acupressure as a clinical technique for needle-sensitive patients, as an adjunct to needle sessions, and as a self-care teaching tool. He provides written acupressure guides specific to your condition for home use.
