In easy to understand, step-by-step instructions, the DVD provides you with the information you will need to know in order to find and activate 20 of the most powerful points known to acupressure.

With easy to understand instructions from the DVD and the visual aid of the Pressure Points poster you will be shown how to position the FitBALL Pressure Points balls so that your body weight, leaning into the balls, supplies the pressure necessary to activate the acupressure points.

Medium-Density Pressure Points Balls

The acu-balls included in this kit are for people new to this system and are a safe density to begin this form of self-treatment with. If you prefer more pressure on the points you can substitute these balls with ones that are more firm. Firmer balls, while your body is leaning into them, will increase the amount of pressure being applied to the points.

Acupressure Chart

The colorful and usefull includes acupoint numbers to coincide with the Pressure Points instructional DVD. It also includes anatomical references to muscle groups that this system affects. The chart also shows the anatomical landmarks you will need to know in order to find the points. It makes the whole system easy to learn. It's also a quick and easy reference and reminder after you have learned the basic concepts of the Pressure Points system.

Cautions and Considerations

If you have physical limitations and cannot get into the positions recommended by this product, don't force yourself. It is better to improvise. For example: Sit in a comfortable chair and lean back against the balls rather than lay on the floor. The important thing is not the balls or the position, but rather the correct pressure against the points while you remain comfortable. Some alternative positions are recommended in the video but don't be afraid to experiment. All the points in the video can also be done with finger pressure by you or another person.

Information provided with this product either from the book or video is not meant to replace the expert advice from your doctor or physical medicine specialist. If you are being treated by a specialist such as an acupuncturist, massage therapist, chiropractor, osteopath, or physical therapist for an injury or muscular condition, always check with them first. Most therapist will be familiar with this type of self-administered technique and will probably be helpful in coordinating it into your current routine.

For chronic muscle problems it is best to apply the Acupressure Works techniques at least twice a day. Frequent repetition greatly enhances long term results.
