Chinese Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu actually means “finger pressure” and this is exactly what this type of massage incorporates. During a Shiatsu massage, the massage therapist will use their hands, arms, fingers, and elbows to work on the body's pressure points. The massage therapist will use rotations and stretches to help the body’s energy flow.
Shiatsu massage focuses on the 12 meridians (also known as Qi) in your body such as the lungs, large intestines, stomach, and liver.
There are special terms for these points in Shiatsu massage back-shu and front-mu.
These points are used when a Shiatsu massage is given, so the massage therapist can focus on the specific meridians these two types have.
A Shiatsu massage isn’t just a form of relaxation, but also one
that requires you to move your body.
