Acupressure has blown-up recently as a go-to for health nuts, fitness geeks, and physical therapists alike. The millennia-old treatment (yes, millennium plural) has a range of benefits including stress relief, muscle relaxation, sleep improvement, pain relief, and much more. And, unlike other treatments that provide the same benefits, acupressure is easy to do at home, and doesn’t take time out of your day. Below are the essential books, mats, and massagers you’ll need to get started.
