Shiatsu Massage: An Oriental Therapy Rebalancing Treatment

Shiatsu originated from the Eastern or oriental therapy to treat energy imbalances and physical disorders. It is typically associated as an oriental massage; however, the underlying principle that it has been promoting for over 2000 years ago proves that there is more to shiatsu massage therapy than mere massage.

In fact, the use of a pressure-point method, with thumbs, fingers, palms, elbows, knees, feet and toes as instruments, and without the use other mechanical or medical instruments, can help improve your overall health and well-being. How? Read through to find more about this oriental therapy rebalancing energy treatment.

First, let’s take a look at the wide benefits that shiatsu massage provides to the human body:

- improves circulatory system
- increases flexibility to muscular system as well as to the skin
- assists in recovery and maitenance of bone homeostasis
- assists the digestive system functions
- improve the function of the endocrine ( hormone) system function
- regulates the body’s nervous systems’ functions

Note that all these benefits are delivered through the use of a pressure point principle promoted by shiatsu massage. Shiatsu massage may be considered as acupuncture without needles. In place of needles a shiatsu massage therapist reaches through to the “chi” flowing through the series of meridians which are associated with the vital organs of the human body.

Shiatsu massage balances the out of control flow of chi or energy in these meridians, so that after a few shiatsu massage therapy sessions, there is a balanced energy. As the balanced energy is achieved, there tends to be an improved condition on the treated specific meridian points. Shiatsu therefore is a medical instrument/device-free technique that helps correct internal dysfunctions, promotes and keeps health back on track.

It does not cure diseases though. That assignment is of course left to the more qualified medical practitioners and wonders of the science technology. But what shiatsu massage can do is to give abigger sense of improvement that the client instantly experiences once they start having the shiatsu treatments; and enjoying the increased strength of the body organs functions and more importantly to the natural resistance against illnesses.

Shiatsu is designed to normalize and balance vital energy to improve overall well being. This includes physical , mental, emotional, intellectual and spiritual being. The meridian sections found in the body where the chi flows freely, are said to be linked to all these aspects of the human and spiritual body.


Shiatsu massage works quickly when there is a deficit or overflow of energy chi in these meridian sections. These couple of  conditions mean that there is an irregularity in the nature of the human body; therefore needs to be corrected, and shiatsu can asist with this.

The shiatsu massage therapist works with their hands, elbows, knees and feet to find these irregularities and implement the pressure-point techniquse to give you energy rebalance.  Shiatsu ideally provides a better amd more natural alternative to people seeking improved well being and better lifestyle.

Perhaps that is you?

In your day to day daily hassles that you experience, through trial and error, rebalancing the energy through this massage technique will help in improving your life so that you can  live a happier, uplifting life and take control of your own health conditions.

Shiatsu massage therapy is not a mere massage but a treatment that goes deep beyond the physical, seeking more significance in the name of better health and well being.
