IGM® is a method that is unique, easily grasped, comprehensive and non-invasive. IGM® Therapeutic Acupressure is a multi-conceptual combination of five eastern meridian-based point therapy techniques: Acupressure, Shiatsu, AMMA, Relexology and Jin Shin Jyutsu, along with components of Therapeutic Touch and Color Therapy. This multiconceptual modality facilitates the restoration of overall balance, harmony and wellness to the body-mind-spirit. IGM® Therapeutic Acupressure uses 50 specific acupressure point combinations along the body's energy channels, called meridians, in a simple triangulated sequential order that opens blocked acupressure points for optimal flow of life force energy (chi).

According to the ancient oriental art of acupressure, the human body has a network of channels (meridians) through which our vital life force (chi) energy flows. When this flow of energy is interrupted, an imbalance occurs and disease and discomfort manifest in certain areas of the body.

Through the application of acupressure, these channels are reopened, allowing the life force (chi) energy to flow, restoring balance and wellness to the body.
