The New York College of Health Professions has received an exclusive license on a patented line of clothing and accessories that provide the benefits of acupressure to specific points when in contact with the body that can be self administrated by the wearer during sports activities.

Acupuncture and Acupressure have been used for thousands of years and are well known in traditional Chinese medicine. Both have been shown to produce chemicals in the body that allow a person to either relax or become energised.

The natural drug release is achieved by placing small seeds in appropriate areas in garments so that when the user presses on these points they are practicing the most basic technique of acupressure.

The college will be launching the clothing and accessories line under the brand name MyChi.
