When my friend Iolanda recently became a Shiatsu massage therapist, after having trained extensively for some years and passed all her exams, I became concerned in the subject.
Shiatsu massage is an very relaxing and healing form of massage. It is the recipe the Japanese used to cure muscle pain and tightness throughout the body. Shiatsu massage is also an very productive form of massage but with a somewhat metaphysical rationale to withhold the technique. Originally the Japanese used to cure muscle pain and tightness throughout the body by using shiatsu. Shiatsu massage is done fully clothed, but nothing restrictive must be worn, I was told. Shiatsu massage is based on aged Chinese theory of balancing the body's natural vigor centres, and removing any blockages thereby restoring the normal flow of vital bio-energy ('Ki' in Japanese or 'Chi' in Chinese), by unblocking all vigor points (meridians) using stimulation of pressure points in your body, these pressure points are also used in acupuncture and sometimes called 'acupoints' in English. The most challenging part for me is that the art of Shiatsu massage is tied into Eastern traditions that intertwine spiritual, corporeal and healing sides of the body for maximum wholeness and wellness.
What are Shiatsu Techniques ?
Basically shiatsu techniques are designed to invigorate muscles by promoting increased blood flow to exact areas and identifying and relieving singular problems. The masseuse will work her way colse to your body using all sorts of massage techniques combined with stretching and pulling of your arms and legs. The purpose of these massage techniques is to issue and balance the flow of 'ki' or energy, at points where it has come to be blocked or over stimulated. The massaging techniques and the power of 'human touch' has a broad relaxing follow on your whole body. The study of shiatsu involves a lot more than just finger pressure and massage techniques. These techniques are used in conjunction with stretches, joint rotations and joint manipulation to give you an 'all-over' body, mind and spirit massage.
What Are The Benefits Of Shiatsu Massage Therapy?
Not only will you touch deep muscle free time but you will also significantly reduce your stress levels. The massage also releases toxins from your body, gives you increased flexibility in your movements and improves blood circulation while also reducing blood pressure. It will also have a calming follow and reduce any mental anxieties you may have. In addition, it feels great!
