What is Shiatsu Massage?

Shiatsu massage is a form of Japanese manual therapy based on finger pressure on specific points of the body, called 'tsubos'. 

This practice is rooted in Eastern tradition, which views the body as an energetic system, and aims to restore the balance between mind and body. 

Using simple and natural techniques, Shiatsu massage is an accessible option for improving well-being.
It is suitable for all ages and is often practiced on a floor mat to encourage more direct contact and greater effectiveness of the maneuvers.

Benefits of Shiatsu Massage

The benefits of Shiatsu massage are numerous and touch on various aspects of physical and mental health.
Among the main ones, we find:

  • Deep relaxation: The massage helps reduce stress and promotes a feeling of deep relaxation, enhancing mental well-being.
  • Pain relief: By stimulating pressure points, Shiatsu can be effective in reducing muscle pain, headaches, and accumulated tension.
  • Improvement of circulation: The pressure applied during the massage stimulates blood circulation, contributing to better oxygenation and nutrition of the tissues.
  • Energy balance: Restoring the energetic flow, the massage promotes a sense of vitality and inner harmony, helping to overcome periods of fatigue and low energy.

When and How to Practice Shiatsu

Shiatsu massage can be practiced in various contexts: at home, in wellness centers, or professional studios. It is not necessary to wait until you have pain or discomfort to benefit from it; in fact, it can be an excellent preventive practice. 

It is recommended to book a session of at least 60 minutes, where the professional can assess your specific needs and adapt the techniques. Before the session, it is helpful to communicate any physical issues or concerns to receive the most suitable treatment. 

Even those facing moments of great stress or worry can reap enormous benefits, finding a sense of calm and well-being.
