  1. Could acupressure help me?

  2. Are there any reasons I should not try acupressure?

  3. Can you recommend an acupressure practitioner?

  4. Should I consider acupuncture as well?

  5. How often should I see an acupressure practitioner?

  6. What can I expect during the treatment?

  7. How long will it take before I know if acupressure is useful for my condition?

  8. Can acupressure help me lose weight?

  9. Should I consider self–administered acupressure?

  10. If so, how should I self–administer acupressure to ease my symptoms?
