Therapeutic Shiatsu Massage is a Japanese form of acupressure therapy that promotes healing by correcting energy imbalances in the body. Mostly thumb pressure is used on specific points. Therapeutic Shiatsu Massage is based on the same principles as acupuncture, tai chi, and other forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Therapeutic Shiatsu Massage acupressure therapy focuses on releasing blocked points so that the body's energy can flow freely, restoring balance and health. Therapeutic Shiatsu Massage treats pain, sports injury, stress, headaches, whiplash, muscle tension, stiffness, numbness, insomnia, fatigue, depression, fibromyalgia and more.

Always look for and treat the cause of your pain. Research suggests that bodywork stimulates the release of natural pain-relievers such as endorphins.

Over time, areas with poor circulation form trigger points-highly irritable spots that refer pain, tingling, or other sensation elsewhere in the body, usually in a predictable pattern. Therapeutic Shiatsu Massage practitioners can relieve pain more efficiently by using their knowledge of acu-points and energy channels to move blocked or stagnant energy.

As muscles tense around referred pain, the pain spreads. Trigger points repond well to bodywork techniques such as pressure and stretching. Bodywork counteracts the body's response to stress, relaxing muscle tension and allowing heart rate, blood pressure and circulation to return to normal.
