Tonći Šitić - Acupressure
Acupressure (spotty massage) is a presso-reflexive therapy.

The basic principle is stimulating mechanical centers by pressing the acupunctural zones. Spotty massage can be applied individually or as a part of complete (partial) massage. This method is succesful in many cases and one of its main characteristics is accessibility.

Many acupressure techniques are recommendable for patients as a prevention or cure. It is very important to point out that the acupressure is also useful as first aid. There are many types of acupressure and many ways of application. Acupressural spotts are the points of action. Painful or tender points, burned or damaged skin should be avoided.

Acupressure is usually performed by using fingertips of one, two or three fingers, less often using medial edge of the palm, fingers, whole palm or elbow. We differ two degrees of stimulation. Weak stimulation is characterised with short and intensive effect, sufficient for irritation of skin, subcutaneus tissue or muscles without irradiation. The frequency of movement is big (3-4) in one second, prolonged effect on acupressural spott is 30 sec. The number of stimulated spotts is 6 or more. Strong stimulation is characterised with gradual growing of strengh, long lasting and big intensity of pressure, indespensable for stimulation of skin and subcutaneous tissue till the bone. The frequency of movement is (1-2) per second. Prolonged effect on acupressural spott is 1-2 minutes, number of stimulated spotts is 6 or less. Intensity and the length of acupressure is modified according to individual judgement of the patient. When the dosage is correct we might notice a slight hyperrhemia of the skin.
