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

I taught my children how to walk on my arms, legs and Back. I leaned in my childhood that a good strong tap on the back would work wonders. However, going to a professional would have negative effects and make my pain worse for days afterwards.
