Shiatsu Massage and Its Benefits
Shiatsu is a Japanese word: "shi" meaning finger, and "atsu" meaning pressure. But shiatsu is more than acupressure. It is a combination of many different techniques, including pressing, hooking, sweeping, shaking, rotating, grasping, vibrating, patting, plucking, lifting, pinching, rolling, brushing, and, in one school developed by Suzuki Yamamoto, barefoot shiatsu, which includes walking on the person's back, legs, and feet.
In the practice of shiatsu, each person is primarily responsible for his or her own health and well-being. This contrasts with the Western belief that the medical practitioner is principally responsible for our health. In Western medicine an awareness of the unique significance of touch, the essential form of communication between two human beings in the fight to subdue pain, has all but disappeared; certainly it has become minimal. Ironically, in all times and all cultures, the importance of touch, just touch itself, has been acknowledged as a primary means to mitigate pain. In the hurried rounds of the Western clinical physician checking hospital charts at the end of the day, alas, it has nearly completely disappeared.
Shiatsu strengthens the immune system and, if practiced consistently, truly becomes preventive health care. Who can benefit from shiatsu? Early on, George Balanchine, Ivan Nagy, Martha Graham, and many other dancers took regular shiatsu sessions to relieve their pains and restore and maintain their vitality. It is well known that Liza Minnelli and Henry Kissinger have received shiatsu treatments to promote and maintain good health.
Massage and your Health & Well Being
The nervous system controls and coordinates all organs and structures of the human body. Irritation on any nerve will affect one or more of the body's functions. The most critical part of the nervous system is the spine. Any type of stress, mental or physical, caused by injury, strains, sprains, muscle spasms, or disease will affect one or more of the body's functions, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.
Once the nerves in our bodies leave the spinal column, they travel through canals in the tissue. If there is any pressure on these canals, whether created by inflammation, swelling or misalignment of vertebra, the nerves will send out a signal in the form of pain to alert the body of a malfunction. If you suffer from virtually any form of pain or stress, massage "may" be benefical to you
Your Amazing
Lymphatic System
The predominant fluid in your body is lymphatic fluid. This fluid carries nutrients from the food you eat and oxygen from the air you breathe. It also carries toxic poisons, bacteria, cholesterol and viruses away from the cells in your body. Since there is no pump (like the heart for blood) to push this fluid through the body, it is only moved by deep breathing, stretching, vigorous exercise, gravitational force and massage. Manual lymph drainage improves the flow of lymphatic fluid by using light, rhythmic strokes. Circulation massage therapy has been found to be the most efficient method of stimulating lymphatic circulation. The pulsating action of circulation massage therapy causes the millions of one-way valves that regulate the flow of fluid to open and close thus allowing a healthy surge of lymphatic fluid throughout the entire body. Manual lymph drainage is primarily used for conditions related to poor lymph flow, such as edema, inflammation, and neuropathies. Lymphatic Drainage Massage can be one of the most healthy massage benefits. Repeated circulation therapy thus creates a continuous flow of lymphatic fluid nourishing and cleansing your cells that literally flush your system of harmful wastes and poisons while increasing your resistance to sickness and disease. If you have any stress, either mental or physical, you are going to have areas of restricted lymphatic flow. Lymphatic fluid is vital to the life process, bathing all the cells, it acts as a medium of exchange; trading food for the cells for the waste products. This waste contains microorganisms, damaged cells, and protein molecules that are too large or too toxic to go directly into the blood stream through the capillary walls. When the lymphatic system slows down, these waste products accumulate and stagnate which causes the heavy feeling in your limbs and the overall fatigue experienced in a sedentary life style. Receiving Lymphatic Drainage Massage can provide relaxation, increase the removal of toxins to promote health and can be of great benefit for post-operative recovery, to persons suffering from edema and anyone with recurrent sinusitis, allergies or seasonal stuffiness.
In today's fast-paced world, we face high levels of stress every day. Many of us drive long distances, sit hunched over our desks and computers and just can't find enough time to exercise. As a result, we suffer increasing tension and pain from our necks to our lower backs. For centuries, relief has been found through massage methods such as Shiatsu, a healing art originating in Japan from traditional Chinese Medicine techniques. Shiatsu is a Japanese word--"shi" means finger and "atsu" means pressure.

Computer assisted research has made the ultimate in massages available to everyone."Shiatsu is the Japanese style of pressure point, no oil massage. You don't even undress! Direct thumb, palm, forearm, or, for large and muscular backs, even knees systematically press into the best release point for each of your muscles."
