Dr. Song came in the next hour to give me a massage or acupressure rub, however you choose to see it. Acupressure essentially is focusing in a specific point or area and using the practitioner’s hands to “rub” it. Before Dr. Song began she removed all the needles and disinfected each point with rubbing alcohol. She first started with the point between my eyebrows; she used both her thumbs to massage the point. She basically used her hands and arms to massage all the points that she placed needles in. As she massaged she would discuss the names and functions of each point. It was hard to focus, but I had a general idea of what each of the points did. Once she finished I felt so much better; I was relaxed, yet full of energy. It was about 6 when we finished, so I bid her goodbye and left for home.
