Add to Calendar 2025-07-10 13:00:00 2025-07-10 14:00:00 America/New_York Relaxation Techniques as Self-Care workshop Massage therapist Michael Jones will be demonstrating facial acupressure and hand reflexology relaxation techniques as self-care. Ellen Coolidge Burke Branch Library - Meeting Room

Massage therapist Michael Jones will be demonstrating facial acupressure and hand reflexology relaxation techniques as self-care.

Facial acupressure is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that involves applying pressure to specific points on the face to stimulate the flow of energy and promote well-being. It can help release tension in facial muscles, calm the nervous system, and potentially improve skin appearance and overall health. Hand reflexology is a massage technique that puts pressure on various reflex points around your hands. The belief is that these points correlate to different body parts and that massaging the points can help to relieve symptoms in other areas of the body.

During the workshop, Michael will be demonstrating various facial acupressure and hand reflexology relaxation techniques so that participants can perform the relaxation techniques on themselves. A handout illustrating the facial acupressure and hand reflexology relaxation techniques will be provided. 

Registration is required for this event.
