What is Shiatsu Massage ?

Shiatsu, meaning "finger pressure" in Japanese, is a therapeutic massage technique that originated in Japan and is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. It combines manual pressure, stretching, and joint mobilization to stimulate the body’s energy pathways, known as "meridians," improving overall health and wellness.

Shiatsu massage aims to restore balance, alleviate pain, and promote relaxation by targeting specific pressure points on the body.

How does Shiatsu Massage work ?

Shiatsu massage, rooted in traditional Japanese practices, is a therapeutic technique that uses finger pressure, stretching, and mobilization to stimulate energy flow, relieve tension, and enhance overall well-being. Here's how it works:

• The therapist conducts a brief consultation to assess health concerns, identify areas of tension, and personalize the treatment.

• Using fingers, thumbs, palms, and elbows, the therapist applies rhythmic pressure along energy lines, promoting circulation and balance.

• Gentle stretching techniques are used to improve flexibility, reduce tightness, and enhance joint mobility.

• Shiatsu targets areas of discomfort like the back, shoulders, and neck, and also focuses on pressure points in the hands and feet to promote overall relaxation.

• The slow, rhythmic motions of the massage help to relax the mind and body, releasing both physical and emotional tension.
