Accupressure

Acupressure, which is also known by names like Zone Therapy, Reflexology, Shiatsu, Pointed Pressure Therapy, Contact Therapy, Concentrated Massage or Acupuncture without Needles, is probably the oldest system of natural treatment in the world, based on scientific technique of massage or pressure.

How, when and where this system originated lacks consensus but on the basis of certain ancient documents, it is assumed that acupuncture and acupressure, which work on a similar theory, were first conceived by Indian thinkers in primitive times. It was from here that the knowledge of these sciences disseminated to certain other countries through students, pilgrims and tourists. Research in Russia has endorsed this contention.
