Recently a woman asked me "What's the alteration between your massage and other types of massage?" I replied "Shiatsu is another than a type of massage, it's a healing experience".
Shiatsu could be described as an all over body-energy treatment which nourishes our body, tendency and spirit. It bridges the orifice between impulse healing and item treatment.

What is it all about?
Renowned practitioner Paul Lundberg describes it in the closest behaviour "Shiatsu is characterized by its skilled simplicity. It grew from traditional forms of massage (called Anma in Japan and Anmo or Tuina in China) which handle rubbing, stroking, squeezing, tapping, pushing and pulling to force the muscles and circulatory systems of the body. By contrast Shiatsu uses infrequent techniques and to an beholder it would arise that slender is contemporary - merely a still, relaxed force at diverse points on the intent with the hand, or thumb, an facile taste of the elbows or a picnic rotation of a limb. It nearly seems a dull labor and, to the magnitude that it conserves ones energy, it is. On the contrary underneath the uncomplicated movements yet is in fashion internally to the body's power on a subtle level.(from The Jotter of Shiatsu)
Shiatsu developed away of the extensive tradition of oriental medicine and healing which works at a exact bottomless comparable to effect a balance in the body's heavy vigour operation confessed as Ki or Chi. This integral compel (ki) links our body, gray matter and spirit and is easily injured. This can facade to a hundred and one symptoms of sick health. If we suffer from anxiety, stress, headaches, pain, back concern or constipation it is all a symptom of injury to the confused network of constitutive strength which keeps us going. When these symptoms check in it is a expression that somewhere in our reason our ki has emerge as depleted (kyo in Japanese). This lessening of ki creates a counter reaction and our ki becomes exorbitant (jitsu) in another area. Express frequently what appears to be the doubt is single the department that is showing, the jitsu. Wound up diagnosis of the meridian channels the Shiatsu practitioner finds where these imbalances evasion and re-balances them ended the treatment.

Treatments
For case when we overwork, what is called our Kidney Force is disrupted. Over interval this can bulge to problems such as back ache, chronic fatigue, respiration troubles, and yet looking older than our years. Treating the Kidney and Bladder impact channels on the back, along with strength points such as Kidney 3 (Great Ravine), can annex awe-inspiring results. Provided we buy an emotional setback, be it from the break-up of a contingency or the passing of someone hurried to us our Passion Coercion takes a battering. As a crop we cannot sleep, possibly don't eat or consolation eat and pass into down and withdrawn. Using acu points such as Love 7 (Mind Door) as division of the overall treatment can be actual effectual in balancing the Feelings Pressure and helping us cope with these knocks.
During a Shiatsu treatment the receiver remains fully clothed throughout and lies on a soft futon mat on the floor. The practitioner leans into the energy channels with the thumbs or hands, elbows or knees. He/she may very exercise some easy stretches to bare up the channels and edit the flow of ki energy.
