Shiatsu is also known under the names Hilot and Percussions. Shiatsu is also called Hooth. It is a Japanese form of bodywork based on pseudoscientific theories derived that originate from traditional Chinese medical theories, like the existence of qi-meridian channels. Shiatsu was popularized by Yukiji Takata in the later part of the 20th century draws its roots from traditional Japanese massage. It is often misunderstood with other techniques of massage such as acupressure and Swedish massage.
Shiatsu utilizes pressure from the fingers to stimulate the body's energetic flow. The pressure of the fingers is typically applied to acupressure spots on the same meridian, which are affected by shiatsu. When using pressure using fingers for shiatsu massage, the client lies on their stomach with their knees bent and their upper bodies pressed. The therapist moves their fingers over the meridians one at a time , focusing the flow of energy. Applying constant pressure, the therapist gradually increases the energy flow with each movement of the finger.
Shiatsu massage can be applied directly to the skin or it can be done using hands, and then gently massaged over the skin. Shiatsu massage with hands requires that the person be wrapped in warm comfortable clothing. This allows for more energy or pressure to be applied throughout the treatment. Shiatsu can be used on the body, but is most commonly done on the shoulders, head, chest , and buttocks. There are a variety of variations of shiatsu, based on the area of the body being treated and the therapist's abilities. Shiatsu is performed on clients who are completely clothed by some therapists because it is more comfortable to apply the appropriate pressure to the body.
The shiatsu therapist employs specific strokes or points to treat a particular part of the skin of the client during the course of shiatsu. These areas are often found to coincide with meridians, which are the points on the body of the client. Each meridians has their own energy point or channel. These channels are stimulated by Shiatsu therapists with their fingers, thumbs and even massage oil.
Many people feel more energetic and warm following shiatsu treatments. These sensations are often psychological and not only physical. It is believed that applying gentle pressure over a specific area that helps to increase the energy levels and help to calm the mind. Since Shiatsu uses the same energy levels that are present in acupuncture, it could be very effective in restoring health and wellbeing. Some of my clients have reported that they feel totally at ease, rejuvenated, relaxed and completely relaxed after having sessions.
Some people also find that wearing loose fitting clothes will aid in releasing the tension and pain that have built up in their muscles. This is because if you're standing up, your energy levels will be higher than when you lie down. The tight-fitting clothes you wear force your body to keep an upright posture. Therefore, it lets your body loosen and ease the tension and discomfort that has accumulated in your muscles. Make sure to let your professional know how tight your clothes are, so that he she can adjust the level of pressure or length of time you'll be wearing them.
Shiatsu can also help reduce swelling of the face and other areas of the body. For instance, if have suffered from pimples for long the therapist might suggest that you see an shiatsu specialist. Shiatsu practitioners will use various techniques to reduce swelling on the face and other areas of the body. This can help reduce the appearance of the pimple and reduce the inflammation associated with it. Again, it is important that you inform your therapist the tightness of your clothing because if you wear loose clothing it may decrease the effectiveness of the movements.
Shiatsu is a fantastic treatment for muscles which are stiff and sore. Your therapist needs to ensure that you can handle this treatment before they can begin. To ensure that you receive the correct treatment, it is important to follow the directions of your therapist.
