acupressure

In alternative medicine, generic term covering several massage techniques, mostly Chinese, in which fingertip pressure is applied to points on the body to stimulate the vital energy in corresponding organs. These techniques include shiatsu, developed in Japan from Chinese roots, do-in, and acu-yoga. Acupressure may be used for immediate relief of symptoms, for the maintenance of general health, and in supporting other forms of treatment.
