Sure
You can do acupressure up and down your calves for 5-10 minutes, then your feet and soles. See how you feel after that. You can do this 2-3 times a day as needed.
yes, order a book about it.

I do acupuncture, which is stimulation of the points with needles. I do not practice acupressure.
Rolling on a reflexology ball could be one way.
Acupressure for your feet is more of a foot reflexology question vs an acupuncture question. I would recommend spending a little time on google and youtube to learn some basic protocols, it can be very effective and feel wonderful.
We work on the entire body, and feet are part of your body to work on. The doctor works on the whole leg to remove inflammation.
Hello! You can google foot reflexology points on google for additional information.
After consulting a licensed acupuncturist, they can show you some acupuncture points on the feet and ankles that you can stimulate with pressure from your thumb or finger. Depending on what you are looking to achieve from treatment, they can give you a few points to perform acupressure on your own that can be done safely at home.
You can take a course on Foot Reflexology. Good luck!
It is a good question about how can you acupressure your feet. You can use your finger or certain tools to acupressure your feet.
Good morning,

You can massage the whole feet from the ankle down, upper and bottom of the feet also both sides. There are some books talking about acupuncture points on the bottom of the feet. You can even get it online.

From up to down.
First of all, acupressure is a safe procedure. You can surely do it on your own. Second, find a good acupressure chart and consult with a skilled acupuncturist, and then you can use acupressure points at home.
Then please buy a book or take some classes from someone trained in it fully.
You can look up the acupuncture points on your feet and apply pressure on those points
There are several points you could apply acupressure to on your feet. The selection of these points depends on what your goals in health are. Tell your acupuncturist what you would like to treat and they can suggest the most appropriate points.
Yes, there are some acupuncture points on feet, you can do acupressure on them, and from an anatomical point of view, when you understand the bones and muscles of the foot, you naturally know how to massage the foot.
You can acupressure any point by pressing it about 50 times. The point may be tender at first but by the end of the 50 it should feel desensitized. Make sure you are inhaling healthy energy/oxygen and exhaling the pain. Acu balls (little balls with spikes) are also very nice to roll on the bottom of your feet.
There are several mats and rolling devices that have a knobby or bumpy surface which will stimulate the feet in a general way.
