Shiatsu: pressure sensitive fingers and palms of hands
Between prevention, wellness and comfort, Shiatsu can help in cases of back pain or sleep for example. This tradition of Japanese body is done by applying simple pressure on the meridians, small channels in which energy flows.
Shiatsu, a form of acupressure
As the acupuncture needles, shiatsu is a method that involves applying pressure with the fingers, especially with their thumbs on areas or specific routes located on the meridians of acupuncture. The art of this practice is based on the use of fingers (positions of the thumbs and fingers) and palms, and the degree of pressure.
According schools, Shiatsu also involves lobbying by the elbow, knee or foot.
The pressure indicates how divided the body into zones too active or weakened. In response, other pressures short or prolonged, mild or insistent, trying to tone, stretch and dispersed areas. Thus shiatsu goes from diagnosis to treatment, which is sometimes simply to reduce tension and restore balance.
