 Lasting soreness is also a possibility. Usually attributed to "released energy" or
"released toxins."

Contraindications of Acupressure:

Acupressure is a safe technique, but it is not meant to replace professional health care. A

physician should always be consulted when there are doubts about medical conditions.

 Acupressure should not be applied to open wounds, or where there is swelling and

inflammation. Areas of scar tissue, blisters, boils, rashes, or varicose veins should

be avoided.
 People having a fractured bone should avoid acupressure.
 Cardiovascular conditions in general are a contraindication for both acupressure

and massage unless specifically approved by physician. This includes heart

disease, a history of blood clots, clotting disorders and other blood-related

disease. For example, acupressure is especially dangerous for those with risks for

blood clots, as the pressure applied to the skin may release the clot, causing the

clot to travel to the brain or heart, resulting in serious health conditions like a

stroke.
 Cancer is also a contraindication for acupressure. Originally the contraindication

revolved around the concern of changes in blood circulation, resulting in a greater

risk for metastasis or spread of the cancer.
 Finally, certain acupressure points should not be stimulated on people with high

or low blood pressure

and on pregnant women.
