Exploring the Benefits and Techniques of Traditional Japanese Massage at Kenko-Do.net
The Essence of Traditional Japanese Massage
Traditional Japanese massage, or "shiatsu," is a form of therapeutic bodywork from Japan that has evolved over centuries. Distinct in its method, it combines ancient Chinese medicine theories with the Japanese penchant for meticulous care. Shiatsu, which literally means "finger pressure," involves the application of pressure to special points or areas on the body to improve health and wellbeing. The therapists at Kenko-Do.net utilize their hands, thumbs, elbows, and even knees to apply pressure, enhancing circulation, relieving stress, and healing pain.
Understanding Shiatsu's Roots and Principles
Shiatsu's philosophy stems from the traditional Chinese medicine concept of qi, or vital energy, which flows through pathways in the body known as meridians. Blockages or imbalances in this flow are believed to cause health issues. Shiatsu massage aims to release these blockages, restoring the body's natural ability to heal itself.
Techniques Employed in Shiatsu
One of the unique aspects of shiatsu practiced at Kenko-Do.net is its variety of techniques. These include:
- Rotations and stretches to increase flexibility and stimulate circulation.
- Gradual pressure to enhance the deep tissue response.
- Palming and thumbing along the body’s energy meridians to promote energy flow.
Health Benefits of Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu massage is more than just a means to relax. It is a holistic approach that impacts several aspects of physical and mental health.
Physical Health Advantages

- Pain relief: Particularly effective for conditions like migraines and arthritis.
