Inhaltsangabe

Japanese shiatsu massage entails putting pressure on certain places all over the body. The Japanese word "shiatsu" means "finger pressure" in English.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is the theoretical foundation of this massage method. It centers on the idea of qi (or Chi), the life force energy that is thought to circulate throughout the body via channels called meridians.
Rhythmic pressure is applied to different areas along the body's meridians by use of fingers, thumbs, palms, and occasionally elbows or knees during a Shiatsu massage. The objective is to encourage a state of harmony and health by enhancing the flow of Qi. The client stays completely clothed while the shiatsu practitioner works on them on a futon or mat laid out on the floor.
To alleviate stress and promote better energy flow throughout the body, Shiatsu practitioners may use finger pressure, stretches, and joint rotations, among other techniques. As a holistic method, it helps with issues including pain, stress, tension, and imbalances in the body.
It's important to remember that Shiatsu is its own type of bodywork with its own specific methods and approaches, often including parts of Western medicine's anatomy and physiology, even though it has certain similarities with traditional Chinese medicine.
It is recommended that you discuss any health issues with a licensed professional before undergoing a Shiatsu session, as is the case with any type of massage or bodywork.
