Shiatsu Massage

Shiatsu Massage Benefits our Bodies

September 29, 2017 by Dr Masha

Shiatsu Massage Benefits Bodies in Huntington Beach, Orange County

Ah, massage.  Not only does it feel fantastic, but there are also some wonderful benefits you can enjoy.

Here are some great benefits of Shiatsu massage if you live in Huntington Beach or anywhere in Orange County.

Shiatsu literally translates to “finger pressure”. This technique uses pressure, as the name suggests, applied to the pressure points using the thumbs, elbows, hands, and even knees and feet. This massage focuses on stretching and rotating the limbs, joints, and meridians (a word used in Chinese traditional medicine that refers to pressure points).

It comes from Eastern Medicine in Japan

Those who practice Eastern medicine believe that the mind and body need to be in the balance with their surroundings. This balance is in contrast to the Western theory of medicine, which involves fixing disease with some pill (in most cases). These techniques are in line with the philosophy of Eastern medicine. Those who practice this believe that the body is made up of energy that can occasionally become blocked. This blockage of energy causes suffering. When the energy of the mind and body are put back into balance, healing occurs. Shiatsu massage aims to do just that.

Our Body Has 12 Meridians

The body possessed 12 meridians – the lungs, the liver, the gallbladder, triple heater, the heart governor, the large intestine, the small intestine, the kidneys, the bladder, the heart, the spleen, and the stomach. These meridians are focused on during Shiatsu to promote the balance and healing of the mind and body. Both the immune system and the nervous system are stimulated when pressure is applied.

So what are some of the significant benefits? One benefit is the restoration of energy by removing weakness and fatigue. Another is to the circulatory system. Circulation is improved, and the blood flow to the body is promoted.

It Reduces Stress and Tension In Our Bodies

No More Stress

Not surprisingly, this wonderful massage also works to reduce stress and tension felt throughout the mind and body. It is also beneficial to those who suffer from anxiety and depression. It simply feels good, and you cannot help but to relax and enjoy the healing that is being brought on.

Shiatsu massage can also contribute to relieving headaches. This form of massage also works to provide relief for sprains and other similar injuries. Of the same vein, it reduces problems from issues such as a stiff neck, backaches, and stiff shoulders.

How Can Shiatsu Massage help Me?

Are you dealing with bowel troubles, morning sickness, and even menstruation issues? Shiatsu reaches into these common problems of the body. You can also feel relief from sinus problems and even colds and cough, which shows it reaches deep into all planes of the body to provide healing and comfort.

In conclusion, Shiatsu massage is faithful to the Eastern philosophy of medicine. It works to bring balance to mind and body for healing and relief from common physical and emotional problems. The next time you need healing, or you simply want to experience the relaxation through Shiatsu massage, schedule an appointment.
