Shiatsu massage is more than just a relaxing experience; it's an ancient art deeply rooted in the balance of the body’s energy or "Qi". Derived from traditional Chinese medicine, Shiatsu utilises precise pressure on specific points (acupressure) along the body’s meridians. These meridians are pathways through which vital energy flows. When these pathways are blocked or unbalanced, discomfort or illness may occur. Shiatsu aims to restore balance by applying rhythmic pressure using thumbs, palms, or elbows, which stimulate the flow of energy and release blockages.
One of the unique aspects of Shiatsu is its holistic approach. Instead of focusing only on sore or tense areas, practitioners assess the entire body, seeking to balance both physical and emotional health. By focusing on pressure points, Shiatsu can alleviate muscle tension, promote relaxation, and even support the immune system. It is often used to relieve stress, headaches, fatigue, digestive issues, and chronic pain, making it a versatile therapy for overall wellness.
Unlike other massage techniques that may rely on oils or intense muscle manipulation, Shiatsu is performed without oils, and the client remains fully clothed. The pressure applied is firm yet gentle, ensuring comfort while also being effective in targeting deep-seated energy imbalances.
