Acupressure Massage for Martial Arts
Acupressure uses the fingers to press or manipulate the energy points of the body. This is one of the oldest therapeutic techniques in the world and the theories that govern this ancient practice are the basis for Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Stimulating the points of the body helps to keep the energy flowing freely and the body healthy.
Massage and healing techniques have always been a part of traditional Martial Arts. Think about it. The purpose of Martial Arts is to cause damage so it is logical that while practicing to be effective there would be some need for healing techniques and traditionally many Martial Arts Masters have also been healers by profession. The two have always gone hand in hand.
Learning Acupressure can further your development as a martial artist. No, not any funky death tough type of scenario. I am talking more down to earth practical skill development. Learning Acupressure teaches you first hand about the human body and how it is put together. You learn muscle anatomy by feeling the structures through massage. You can then take this knowledge and enhance your own movement practice. You gain a better understanding of how the structures of the body are connected to each other.
Usually when people think of massage they think about booking a spa session and these usually last an hour or longer. But, to get the benefits of Acupressure a long session is not always needed. It could be argued that more frequent sessions could give more benefit but who has the time or the money to spend for frequent massage sessions.
Fortunately Acupressure is easy to learn and does not have to be very time consuming. In fact one of the first Acupressure Massage protocols I learned years ago only takes about 15 minutes to preform and can be learned through DVD.
