What Is Acupressure? Acupressure is similar to acupuncture, but is a noninvasive touch technique. Acupuncture requires the use of needles to puncture the skin. Both are effective in stimulating acupoints on the body in order to move and balance life force energy. (From Equine Acupressure: A Working Manual, by Nancy Zidonis, Marie Soderberg, and Amy Snow)
