Shiatsu massage is truly the massage to alleviate the deeper levels of muscle strain and stress. The principle of Shiatsu massage works along the same lines as acupuncture therapy but without use of the acupuncture needles. Shiatsu massage involves the use of acupressure applied to key points on the body. Unlike the massages such as Swedish massage, Shiatsu massage therapy uses more than just than the hands. Depending upon what type of Shiatsu treatment you seek, the acupressure techniques involve using the hands, thumbs, elbows and knees. The results of a shiatsu massage allows you are to experience overall wellness through touch.
Using the same pressure points or meridians in the body as used in acupuncture treatment, shiatsu provides a comprehensive treatment that heals the entire body. You will experience through most shiatsu treatments induced healing on a deeper level. The nature of shiatsu massage means that there are several different types of shiatsu massage therapies to choose from. Traditional Chinese shiatsu massage is the most authentic form of the ancient practice of massage. By applying pressure to the twelve body meridians stress, blocked energy and muscle strains begin healing with just a few treatments. Shiatsu works through the pressure applied by a trained shiatsu therapist.
Through the application of deep tissue pressure on the meridians healing on an internal and deeper level begins. This process of unblocking chi is considered critical to the introduction of healing in the body. Chinese shiatsu is not to be confused with the Japanese shiatsu massage. The Japanese shiatsu massage is use as a treatment to relax and calm the patient. The basic principle of Japanese shiatsu is to provide allover holistic bodywork. The main belief in oriental medicine philosophy is to heal at the root of the problem.
Shiatsu massage treatments seek to heal the main cause of diseases. The belief that such disease is a direct result of the unbalanced chi in the body means that the tradition massage targets the unbalances with every treatment. There are twelve body meridians in total in the body. To reach all twelve points in the body during massage the patient is placed in a series of different positions that allow the therapist to apply the acupressure treatment. Whether lying on your side, back or front, the therapist will work on every point to release chi and induce healing. Consult your local shiatsu practitioner for an alternative medicine therapy that heals from within.
