Shiatsu Massage
What is Shiatsu Massage?
Shiatsu Massage is a traditional Japanese therapy that focuses on applying rhythmic pressure to specific points on the body using the fingers, thumbs, palms, and sometimes elbows or knees. Rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu works to restore the body’s natural energy flow, known as “Qi,” promoting balance, relaxation, and overall wellness. Unlike oil-based massages, Shiatsu is typically performed through light, comfortable clothing on a floor mat or massage table.

FAQs About Shiatsu Massage
How does Shiatsu differ from a regular massage?
Shiatsu uses finger and palm pressure on energy meridians instead of long strokes with oils. It’s more about balancing energy than just working on muscles.
Is Shiatsu Massage painful?
Shiatsu is generally gentle and relaxing. You may feel firm pressure, but it should not be painful. Your therapist will adjust pressure based on your comfort.
What should I wear during a Shiatsu session?
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is recommended since the massage is performed through clothing without oils.
How long is a typical session?
Sessions usually last 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your needs and preferences.
Is Shiatsu safe for everyone?
Shiatsu is safe for most people but may not be suitable for those with certain medical conditions like severe osteoporosis, recent surgery, or cardiovascular issues. Pregnant women should consult their doctor before receiving Shiatsu.
