YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE
Stress affects all aspects of our lives, and it goes without saying that life has been more stressful than usual with everything going on in the world. We partnered with our friends at Youth to the People to demonstrate an at-home tool for managing stress: self-guided acupressure.
Acupressure is based on the concept of energy which flows through “meridians” in the body. In treatment, gentle pressure is applied with the fingers to acupuncture points with the aim of clearing blockages and allowing energy to flow freely through the body. Acupressure is an amazing tool for self-treating stress, anxiety, headaches and tension in the body. Add it to your at-home stress management tool box.
