About Acupressure

chi helps in healing When you break your leg, the doctor puts a cast on the injury, and then you wait. You wait for your leg to heal. It is the body's chi or energy that helps this healing. Acupressure liberates blocked or locked energy to accelerate your body's natural healing process.

Energy becomes blocked in a variety of ways. Physical and emotional trauma are the primary causes. However the stress of everyday living experiences can cause your energy to become blocked and "dis-ease" to take over.

Eastern medical tradition maintains that all disease is the result of blocked energy and therefore opening blockages will result in healing. While acupressure comes from a long tradition of Eastern medicine, the Isabell Gatto Method (IGM^®) of therapeutic acupressure supports and works with Western medical practices. In fact, Isabell Gatto, IGM^® founder, maintains that her method is a handmaiden to Western medical practices.

Acupressure Practitioner Works on Patient

Injuries to mind, body, and spirit are held in your body’s cellular memory. Different from your psychological memory, you are not aware of your cellular memory. However, when you are injured, the emotions that were present at the time of the injury are remembered by the cells in your body, and this memory causes dysfunction and a state of “dis-ease.” When you release energy blocked at the cellular level through IGM^® therapeutic acupressure, the emotions that were present at the time of the injury will also release. Therefore, your mind, body, and spirit are treated with IGM^®.
