Massage is considered as a therapy that involves the act of the therapist to apply pressure on the body with the use of their elbows, fingers, hands, feet, forearm, knees, and some other devices.

Acupressure is also called as pressure acupuncture but without the use of needles, and it is designed to promote wellness and relaxation to the patient and to treat various diseases. The therapists who practices acupressure are using the parts of their body, like their feet, elbows, palms and fingers and some other special devices, to apply pressure to the acupoints or key healing points of their patients. Acupressure therapy can cure various ailments and problems of the body felt by the patient, such as muscle pain, anxiety, backache, headache, neck pain, excess stress, and arthritis pain.
