What is Shiatsu

Speaking of acupressure, I believe everyone is familiar with it. In fact, the acupressure method is different from the Western massage method. Acupressure uses the acupuncture points along our body's meridians to apply some pressure. This method of acupressure not only has significant therapeutic effects, but also can greatly enhance our qi and blood circulation. So what exactly is acupressure? What special effects does it have compared to general massage?

In fact, the principle of acupressure is not complicated. It mainly uses pressing techniques to compress different acupuncture points of our body, and release the accumulated energy of the vertebrae or regulate the balance of qi energy, so as to achieve the effect and function of curing diseases and health care. So what exactly is acupressure?

What is Shiatsu?

Introduction

Acupressure is a therapeutic method that uses fingers to press acupuncture points along the meridians. Shiatsu is different from massage in that there is no soft movement and therefore it is also different from Western massage. At the same time, techniques of compressing or pulling the hands, feet, back, etc. are also used. Acupressure practitioners apply pressure to hundreds of points along meridians, or energy lines. To increase the intensity of pressure, use acupressure with your palms, thumbs, knuckles, elbows, knees, and even your feet. Acupressure techniques are performed in the form of touch. China also has similar acupoint pressure therapy.

Effect

Acupressure is a preventive measure and is very safe. It not only has significant medical effects but also functions to maintain health and energy, improve vitality and enhance the flow of qi and blood. Shiatsu allows everyone to demonstrate its healing effects not only physically, mentally but also emotionally. Acupressure has the ability to alleviate a variety of acute and chronic symptoms, including chronic diseases and stress-related illnesses. In addition, it can also be used to relieve pain during childbirth.

principle

Principle of acupressure: Qi is the basic substance that constitutes the human body and is the material basis for the physiological activities of organs, meridians and other tissues and organs. When Qi flows, energy flows. Qi has the functions of promoting metabolism, warming, defending, consolidating and gasifying. People whose Qi flows smoothly and whose Yin and Yang are balanced are healthy and disease-resistant. Diseases in the human body come from blockages in Qi and imbalances in Qi energy (yin and yang imbalance). Acupressure works by compressing acupuncture points along the meridians to release accumulated energy from the vertebrae or adjust the balance of qi energy, thereby achieving the purpose of curing, preventing and maintaining health.

Purpose

Shiatsu is a way of accessing and releasing energy centers that are blocked or congested in the body. Acupressure massage therapy stimulates and activates the body's own energy, helping to fight disease and restore harmony to certain important acupuncture points as they relate to specific parts of the human body, while their influence is more general. The purpose of Shiatsu is to stimulate the body's own healing powers by stimulating various points on the body. Stimulates the removal of toxic buildup caused by diffusion, energy blockages that accumulate in muscle tissue. The accumulation of toxins causes stiffness in the entire body. Stiffness puts abnormal pressure on muscles, nerves, blood, and lymphatic vessels. Pressure on the blood and lymph vessels affects both the skeletal system and the function of internal organs.

I believe that you all already have some understanding of what acupressure is. In fact, this method of acupressure is somewhat similar to the ancient Chinese acupressure method, but its efficacy and function are indeed very good. It can not only stimulate and activate the body's energy, help us resist some chronic diseases of the body, and even soothe and reduce the pain caused by some diseases. In addition, the acupressure technique is relatively safe. You may wish to try this new massage method.
