In this 4-minute video, Dongyan Yu, MS, MS, LicAc, demonstrates simple and self-guided acupressure techniques that may help improve cancer-related fatigue. Although more research is needed, acupressure has demonstrated a short-term effectiveness in alleviating cancer-related fatigue, particularly for patients undergoing chemotherapy.
