Education: Acupressure therapists need to know anatomy and physiology, acupressure points and meridians, theories of Chinese medicine,

acupressure techniques and protocols, health, hygiene and contraindications, neuromuscular, techniques, and clinical practice.

Reflection:

 No I would not want to be one, but maybe I would just want know the pressure points because I am very curious to know where they are. I would not want to be one because I want to be something else.
