What is a Shiatsu Massage?
Shiatsu Massage is a traditional Japanese healing technique that focuses on balancing the body’s energy flow to promote overall health and well-being. The word “Shiatsu” means “finger pressure,” and this therapy primarily involves applying rhythmic pressure using the fingers, palms, thumbs, and sometimes elbows to specific points on the body called acupressure points or meridians.
A Shiatsu therapist uses their hands to stimulate these points, aiming to unblock energy pathways (known as “Qi” or “Ki”) and restore harmony within the body’s systems. Along with finger and palm pressure, the therapist incorporates gentle stretches, joint rotations, and massage techniques that help release muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance flexibility.
