Shiatsu Massage is an Oriental Massage based on the Chinese acupuncture meridian system( channels of energy which pass throughout the body). With shiatsu massage, the acupuncture points throughout the body are stimulated, releasing stresses and blockages of chi ( life force)in the meridian and organ systems.
Shiatsu has been practiced for thousands of years in Japan; it includes gentle stretching and range of motion manipulations, along with pressure placed on the points of the meridians. This is sometimes called Acupressure Massage as well. Shiatsu is very beneficial for treating the immune system, stress and tension as well as such illnesses as fibromyalgia, arthritis, and insomnia. |
