Massage Shiatsu 60'

Service Description

Shiatsu is a non invasive therapy originating from Japan. It uses a combination of kneading, pressing, tapping and stretching techniques. These gentle techniques aim to reduce tension and re energise the body. Shiatsu works with the body's energy flow, known as Ki or Qi. Healthcare professionals view shiatsu as a modified form of acupressure, a massage therapy that involves pressing specific points in the body to reduce tension and fatigue by improving blood and lymphatic circulation. This is a massage art that can release blocked energy in the body by means of finger pressure and stimulate the body's own self-healing powers. Massage therapy works primarily with the muscles; shiatsu focuses on the joints and fascia (connective tissue). Fourth, while massage therapy is most often performed with the client lying on a massage table, a shiatsu session is done on the floor, with the client lying on a comfortable mat or other padded surface
