A GENTLE INTRODUCTION

Care begins with a pause.

Acupressure uses touch at traditionally described points on the body. Here, it starts with comfort and curiosity.

1. Get comfortable

Sit somewhere supported. Let your shoulders relax. This is your time; there is no need to rush.

2. Find the point

Read the location guidance and use the reviewed point illustrations. The body map is for navigation, not precise placement. If you are unsure, skip pressure and rest your hands.

3. Keep it gentle

Pressure should never hurt. Breathe naturally and release if you feel discomfort, tingling, or numbness. You can pause or stop at any point.

4. Notice, without judging

The session engine supports Better, About the same, or Worse check-ins. Guided practice includes safety checks; each reflection helps you notice your own experience. It does not measure a medical outcome.

Tradition and evidence

Traditional use is separate from evidence of effectiveness. Point pages label these separately and show review status. Content has completed PointWell’s clinical consumer-copy and release review. Exact PointWell protocols have not been clinically validated.
