What is Shiatsu Massage?
Shiatsu is a form of massage therapy that has been used in
Japan for over 100 years.
SHIATSU Background : Shiatsu massage therapy is a combination of
many different physical massage and therapy techniques from
simple stroking and stretching therapy to strong massage pressure.
The word shiatsu means ("finger pressure" in Japanese).
Advocates say the practice promotes health and healing by
correcting energy imbalances in the body.
Shiatsu practitioners use their fingers, thumbs, palms, elbows,
knees, and feet to apply pressure to points along the body's
main energy channels, known as meridians. The goal is to release
energy where there are blockages and bring energy into areas
that are depleted. Shiatsu, which is similar to acupressure,
emphasizes the maintenance of health and the prevention of
disease rather than treating a specific ailment.
The Fuji Shiatsu Massage Chair has been designed
to closely replicate the delicate and varied hand movements
of a Shiatsu Massage therapist. When you sit on the chair
for the first time the Knead roller balls which you can sense
rolling up and down your back are in fact the Robotic arms
which are run on 4 motors which in turn is controlled by the
brain CPU located on the motherboard at the base of the chair.
How Does It Work?
Shiatsu is based on some of the same principles as acupuncture,
Tai chi, and other forms of traditional Chinese medicine
(TCM). According to TCM, illness is caused by imbalances
in the flow of energy (qi in Chinese; ki in Japanese) in
the body. Ki can accumulate and become trapped in points
along the meridians known as tsubos, which correspond to
Chinese acupressure points. Proponents believe that a shiatsu
massage focused on these areas can clear blockages and help
restore health by allowing energy to travel freely throughout
the body.
A more scientific explanation for shiatsu's pain-relieving
ability is that it initiates the release of endorphins,
the body's natural painkillers. It may also lower the levels
of adrenaline and other stress hormones in the body, stimulating
a relaxation response.
What You Can Expect
At the end of the session on the massage chair, you will
probably feel very relaxed and may wish to sleep. Some people,
however, may feel invigorated and exuberant.
Shiatsu Health Benefits
Shiatsu is most often used to maintain general health and prevent illness.
It can be especially useful for easing body stress which is one of the primary cause of today’s lifestyle ailments.
Regular Shiatsu Massage Chair therapy helps relaxation, improves circulation and is known to strengthen the immune system.
