Imagine this: instead of needles like in acupuncture, a shiatsu practitioner uses their thumbs, palms, elbows, and even knees to apply gentle but firm pressure to specific points on the body. These points aren’t random—they’re gateways that influence circulation, digestion, immunity, and even emotional well-being.

At its core, acupuncture works with the body’s natural energy flow, known as **Qi (pronounced “chee”)**. Think of it like the Wi-Fi of your body—when the signal is strong and flowing, everything functions smoothly. But when there’s a blockage, the system lags. Acupuncture needles act like little “reset buttons,” helping the body reconnect and heal.
