Shiatsu Massage Secrets

Shiatsu massage, also called acupressure, is a hand pressing massage technique which is often times confounded with acupuncture. Shiatsu therapeutic massage and acupuncture are founded on the Chinese meridian program.

Shiatsu is a traditional, old, Japanese curing system. Shiatsu implies “finger pressure.” But contrary to the massages with the West, where massaging and friction is needed, in shiatsu stretching and pressure is the key. The shiatsu specialist uses elbows, fingers, knees, feet, knuckles, palms, thumbs, to work on the body’s acupuncture points, to where ever they find the body’s energy or meridians channels. It’s a type of “touch communication,” and is a effective and safe preventive medicine. It helps to balance an individual's energy circulation, and fortify the vital organs.

In shiatsu, it is presumed that ailment is caused by clogged or distorted energy, whether that be tired or over-active energy. Shiatsu allocates a similar view as Chinese acupuncture. There are 2 energy forces, the Yang, or positive, and the Yin, or negative. Mainly, our body is looked at as a microcosm of the earth, the meridians vital organs have emerged as ruled by Five Elements and by Yin and Yang. So unbalanced or blocked energy allows ailment to take over, and it's also either useless, or Kyoto, or overactive-jitsu.

Shiatsu doesn't operate by the rubbing and kneading style of Swedish massage but puts pressure using just about any portion of the therapist’s body such as arms, legs, fingers, hands, feet, elbows, toes, etc.

Most individuals experience a sudden feeling of comfort and relaxation. Perhaps you may, though, experience flu symptoms or headache for 24 hours after the treatment. Although this is unusual it is the result of the discharge of unwarranted toxins on your bloodstream. Make sure you feel better in general, and move freer with more relieve and relaxation after a Shiatsu massage treatment.
