About Free Association Psycho Somatic Wellness Centre

Acupressure practitioners use their fingers, palms, elbows or feet, or special devices to apply pressure to acupoints on the body's meridians. Sometimes, acupressure also involves stretching or acupressure massage, as well as other methods. During an acupressure session, you lie fully clothed on a soft massage table. The practitioner gently presses on acupressure points on your body. A session typically lasts about one hour. You may need several sessions for the best results. The goal of acupressure or other types of Asian bodywork is to restore health and balance to the body's channels of energy and to regulate opposing forces of yin (negative energy) and yang (positive energy). Some proponents claim acupressure not only treats the energy fields and body but also the mind, emotions, and spirit. Some even believe that therapists can transmit the vital energy (external qi) to another person. Along with acupressure and other alternative remedies, the art of counseling and psycho education is also imparted to the needy, as many of the somatic problems are related to mind or our thoughts too. So psycho treatment is accomplished through somatic method (acupressure or any other therapy) and thus curing the psycho problems through somatic therapy and vice versa. The acupressure therapy once started lasts for three consecutive days and then repeats two days in a week, then one day in a week and continues depending on the improvement of psycho-somatic conditions. In addition to counseling and acupressure, the significance of diet and its consumption also explains as part of the psycho education and advice with life style, job style, behavior style and life skill management techniques.
