No, there's no age restriction for acupressure. It's a safe and adaptable form of therapy suitable for people of all ages, including the elderly. Side effects are uncommon, and seniors often encounter less adverse effects with acupressure than with many conventional medications.

One of the key advantages of acupressure for seniors is its ability to alleviate various ailments without introducing new drugs into their regimen. As a non-pharmaceutical therapy, acupressure can be especially helpful for those who are already taking multiple medications for different health conditions.

The principles of acupressure are rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and it revolves around the concept of 'qi' or life force. This life force, which is continually produced in the body, travels along 12 specific paths or meridians. Two opposing elements, 'yin' and 'yang,' maintain the equilibrium of this energy. Acupressure works by restoring this balance, enabling the body to rejuvenate its state of well-being.
