Like other alternative therapies and natural healing, Shiatsu body massage is concerned with preventative measures. Shiatsu keeps the body in balance, flexible and healthy.
In the oriental view, an imbalance of Ki develops before the symptoms of illness occur. Regular Shiatsu body massage treatment can help to pinpoint any patterns of imbalance in the body’s Ki structure by ironing out those disturbances before they become entrenched.
For people suffering from health problems, combining Shiatsu body massage therapy, can be of great benefit, both as a discipline in its own right and in concert with other complementary and orthodox treatments.
Experience Shiatsu practitioner may explain the imbalance in terms of oriental theory to help the patient understand his or her condition.
Some practitioners suggest lifestyle and dietary changes to aid healing.
In between treatment sessions, stretching exercises and points to press may form part of a patent’s ‘homework’ to sustain the effect of the treatment.
Many people find that having a Shiatsu body massage session once a month, is a useful part of their general health maintenance programme, rather like having a dental check-up or medical appointment.
People also comment, “I didn’t know that part was sore until you pressed it” or they find that unexpressed emotions can be discharged in the “safe space” of the massage treatment room. The physical and psychological release obtained during Shiatsu body massage therapy can make life more comfortable and in some cases can make it bearable.
