Acupressure (a portmanteau of "acupuncture" and "pressure") is a traditional Chinese medicine technique based on the same ideas as acupuncture. Acupressure involves placing physical pressure by hand, elbow, or with the aid of various devices on different acupuncture points on the surface of the body more at Wikipedia

This is what healed me.When Dr's said its in my head they meant mental and were wrong. It was in my emotions and females are more emotional. I have helped alot of woman and men conquer fibro with acupressure, even over the phone with them working the pressure points to nutralise toxins and issues

It's really a matter of learning all the pressure points and having a tool. I have one but lost the book. It has helped me with headaches and some neck pain/jaw pain. My daughter is studying to be a massage therapist, I can't wait to be her first non-paying guinea pig!
