Shiatsu massage is a traditional Japanese massage technique aimed at restoring balance to the body and mind. Through pressure on specific points, also known as meridians, shiatsu helps reduce stress, relieve pain and promote overall health. But how exactly does this technique work, and what makes it so effective? Read on to discover the benefits of shiatsu massage, including how MediRelaxa massage chairs bring this experience to your own home. More info...
How does shiatsu massage work?
Shiatsu is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which assumes that life energy, or "ki", flows through your body via meridians. A blockage in this energy flow can lead to physical or mental complaints. Shiatsu massage focuses on restoring this balance through:
- Targeted pressure: Massage therapists use fingers, thumbs and palms to apply pressure to specific points along the meridians.
- Strains: Light stretching movements help to loosen muscles and improve flexibility.
- Constant pressure: This provides a calming effect and reduces muscle tension.
Impact: It restores the flow of energy in your body, leading to relaxation, better circulation and reduction of pain.
Benefits of shiatsu massage
1. Reduces stress and improves relaxation
Shiatsu massage lowers stress hormones such as cortisol and stimulates the production of serotonin and dopamine, creating a sense of well-being.
- Result: You feel calmer, more relaxed and better able to cope with daily stress.
- Extra benefit: It promotes deeper, more restorative sleep.
2. Pain relief
Shiatsu can be effective in reducing pain in the neck, shoulders, back and other parts of the body.
- How it works: Pressure and stretching techniques reduce muscle tension and improve blood circulation.
- Result: Less pain and more mobility, even with chronic complaints such as osteoarthritis or fibromyalgia.
3. Improved blood circulation and immunity
Through pressure on meridians, shiatsu stimulates blood flow and elimination of waste products, promoting overall health.
- Long-term effect: A stronger immune system and more energy in your daily life.
