Our company manages to offer you the most modern therapy methods. Shiatsu is an alternative therapy method that uses pressure to manipulate the body’s muscles and meridians. The word shiatsu means “finger” in Japanese, as it is based on the concept of applying pressure with fingers to relieve muscle tension and pain in certain parts of the body. It is a popular complementary therapy used by millions of people around the world. It is especially useful in chronic pain and sports injuries. As complementary therapy, our services can be used alongside other forms of treatment for chronic conditions such as arthritis, back pain, headache, and others.
What is Shiatsu Therapy?
In Shiatsu, a practitioner uses his hand to apply pressure to specific points in the patient’s body. This results in a direct response from the body’s meridians through all organs and energy pathways through the muscles, thereby stimulating the natural healing process. They believe that meridians are like electrical wires that power different parts of our bodies. When a meridian has an imbalance or obstruction, it can cause pain or illness in an organ or part of the body. We offer you the most effective and quality services in this field within the scope of first-class facilities.
Our Shiatsu therapists try to unblock these energy pathways by putting pressure on certain points in the body called meridians, so that they can function normally again. This often leads to complete relief from various ailments such as back pain and headache.
How is Shiatsu Therapy Applied?
To administer Shiatsu, our therapists must first determine which meridian to target for their patients according to the diagnosis or treatment plan. They should also observe their patients’ postures and movements so that they know where to apply pressure for maximum effect. Depending on their diagnosis or treatment plan for patients with back pain, they begin by heating their hands with water until they feel a comfortable temperature before applying pressure to different points on their patients’ back (usually between two vertebrae or above a spinal nerve region).
After determining which meridian to target according to the diagnostic or treatment plan for patients with back pain, our therapists should accurately align the patient’s spine before applying pressure to a point along this path using their index fingers or thumbs, depending on the system they use.
Where is Shiatsu Therapy Applied?
Due to the fact that tense muscles require extra attention to release any built-in tension that may cause an existing problem, appropriate relaxation is a must for an effective shiatsu treatment of disorders. Patients who are tense will find it more difficult to remain sedentary during shiatsu treatment because this form of therapy releases tense muscles very effectively without causing additional pain, such as massage.
Therefore, patients will often experience significant relief after receiving shiatsu treatment for chronic conditions such as arthritis due to decreased joint stiffness and inflammation caused by tension in individual joints caused by Inflammatory Arthritis Disease (EAD). With increased mobility restored after proper shiatsu treatment and releasing the tension accumulated in the individual muscles, patients find greater comfort than ever in moving freely without any discomfort.
What Does Shiatsu Therapy Do?
Shiatsu is a traditional type of Eastern health care. It is based on the understanding that the body is a dynamic system with the ability to regulate its own functions. Therefore, maintaining health requires close attention to the body’s innate tendency to protection and healing. In addition, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioners use shiatsu as a complementary treatment to traditional medical methods for the treatment of musculoskeletal, neurological, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and endocrine disorders.
