                               Acupressure

Duties and Responsibilities:

 Acupressure is a traditional Chinese medicine bodywork technique based on the same ideas as acupuncture. It involves placing physical pressure, by hand, elbow, or with the aid of various devices, on different pressure points on the surface of the body witch may be far distant from the symptom, related by what is called the meridian system to bring about relief through greater balance and circulation of fluids and metabolic energies in the body. 

Salary: $40,000-$80,000

Educational Requirements: In order to a acupressure professional you need a minimum of applicants must possess a high school diploma or GED. You also need a 1 year certificate program with associate degree programs. Two of the leading, nationally accredited agencies for training in acupressure include the American Organization for Bodywork Therapies of Asia (AOBTA) and the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). Accredited formal education programs prepare students for state licensing exams.

 I would not like to become a acupressure professional because I do not like to touch other people and get germs all over my hands. I also wouldn’t like to become one because your hands will be very tired and soar after a few days of work.
