Abstract

Marma therapy, an ancient Ayurvedic practice, and acupressure, a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), both utilize pressure points to restore energy flow and alleviate pain. This review focuses on marma points in the back and their therapeutic correlation with acupressure therapy. It explores their anatomical, physiological, and clinical relevance, highlighting their role in pain management, spinal health, and energy regulation. A comparative analysis of both systems reveals similarities and differences, providing insights into integrative therapeutic approaches.

Keywords: Marma therapy, acupressure, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, spinal health, pain management.
