Body Atlas

Explore acupressure points by body region. Click any part of the body to discover pressure points, their locations, and how to use them.

How to use this atlas: the map shows the body divided into twelve regions. Hover over a region to see its name, then click or tap it to open the full guide for that area. Use the search box below to look up a point by name, by abbreviation such as LI4 or ST36, or by a symptom like headache or anxiety. If you are new to acupressure, points on the hands and feet are the easiest to reach, and LI4 (Hegu), PC6 (Neiguan), and ST36 (Zusanli) make a solid starting set.

Browse by Region

Every region of the atlas has its own guide with the key points, exact locations, and stimulation tips. Start where your symptoms are, or explore the beginner-friendly hand and foot regions first.

Tips for Using the Atlas

  • Click any highlighted region on the map to open its guide. Keyboard users can tab to a region and press Enter or Space to activate it.
  • The back is drawn with a dashed outline because the key back points sit along the Bladder meridian, which runs down the spine.
  • The search box starts filtering after two characters and matches point names, abbreviations, and symptom words.
  • When you press a point, aim for a deep, dull ache (deqi) rather than sharp pain, and hold for 30 seconds to 3 minutes with steady breathing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a specific point?
Type the point name, its abbreviation such as LI4 or ST36, or a symptom into the search box. Results appear as you type, linking to the full guide for each match.
Why is the back shown with a dashed outline?
The back region is marked with dashes because its most important points are the Bladder meridian points, which run in two lines beside the spine rather than inside a single body shape.
Which region should a beginner start with?
Start with the hand and foot regions. Their points are easy to find and reach, and they cover common needs such as headaches, nausea, stress, and sleep.
Is the atlas a medical tool?
No. The atlas is an educational guide for self-care. Acupressure may help with everyday tension and discomfort, but severe, persistent, or unexplained symptoms should be checked by a healthcare provider.
