THE BENEFITS OF RECEIVING A SHIATSU MASSAGE

Calling Shiatsu a massage is misinterpreting. Massage would be to knead and rub the body to help relax muscles and aid circulation, Shiatsu is more a pressure with the thumbs and the palm of the hands, therefore can be called Acupressure. The object of Shiatsu is to stimulate or sedate the body, operating on the central part of the nervous system located along the spine. This has the benefit of treating the whole body whilst being and feeling attentive to the changes that may occur under the hands. The Shiatsu Namikoshi differs in opinion to the Masunaga method in that it focuses more on the anatomical rather than the esoteric aspect, however, both are as equally effective and highly recommended for treating ailments relating to stress and fatigue. As the human body has it's own natural healing process, a Shiatsu session can only complement the distinct advantage we have although it can act as a catalyst to kick start the body where toxins and other accumalative body wastes have stagnated.
