Japanese shiatsu massage resolves pain, fatigue and injuries
Residents of Japan and the Far East in general are awe-inspiring about health. Shiatsu massage is officially accepted and approved by the Ministry of Health in Japan. The finesse of Japanese wisdom from shiatsu massage is very useful.
Shiatsu (Japanese “shi” -fingers and “atsu” – pressing) -is a method of healing by pressing the fingers and palms on the points through which the various energy meridians pass. This method is based on the subconscious instinctive human desire to massage painful parts of the body when a person is tired or bruised.

Shiatsu massage is considered an integral part of the culture of healthy living in the Far East. Shiatsu is a source of youth, beauty and harmony. Shiatsu is known to help against gastrointestinal tract diseases, colds and even cerebral blood flow problems. It successfully eliminates the condition due to muscle spasm and inflammatory conditions of a particular nerve. In case of serious health conditions, it is necessary for a certified person (or a master of this skill) to perform shiatsu massage over the patient.

Useful tips on shiatsu massage
Duration does not matter. The position of the body should provide maximum relaxation because an uncomfortable posture distracts concentration. Stretch your whole body and rub your palms apart before starting the session. And for a better effect of the massage, start the blood circulation with the help of basic physical exercises (if you have the opportunity).
People who feel very tired can use the following methods to mobilize hidden energy sources:
-grasp the forearm with the opposite hand (squeezing the forearm between the thumb and other fingers). Swipe your fingers up and down, squeezing your forearm slightly. This strengthens the flow of energy throughout the body.
Gently massage the opposite palm with the thumb at the point between the thumb and forefinger. This releases a flow of internal energy that spreads throughout the body.
-squeeze the shin lightly (keep your thumb on the shin muscle). Massage the shin by moving your arms up and down. This facilitates the flow of energy from the head to the feet.
