3. About Shiatsu Massage

Shiatsu is a form of body massage which was originally developed in Japan around 100 years ago. It is based on ideas anchored in traditional Chinese medicine, in particular the meridian system, i.e. the paths in the human body along which energy is conveyed.

The aim of any Shiatsu massage is to promote the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of the person being treated. To do this, energy blocks and bottlenecks in the meridians must be dissolved and the self-regulating ability of the body stimulated.

Shiatsu therapists achieve this by exerting pressure in flowing movements along the meridians. Although Shiatsu can be literally translated as “finger pressure”, practitioners also use the heels of their hands, their elbows, and knees as well as their fingers. In the process, the therapist will use his or her full body weight in order to generate the required pressure.

The rotating massage balls in your Shiatsu massager imitate the pressure and kneading movements of a Shiatsu massage. Relax yourself and your feet with this Foot Massager. It can have the following beneficial effects:

· Revitalizes and invigorates feet
· Relaxes tense muscles

NOTES

The massage should be pleasant and relaxing at all times. Stop the massage or change your position or the contact pressure if it is painful or unpleasant.
Massaging a specific point on the sole of the foot may influence the corresponding organ of the body. Study relevant literature and ask your doctor before using point reflex zone massage to achieve the desired effect.
