Shiatsu
Integral Rebalancing And wellbeing
Shiatsu is the integral balancing through physical and energetic stimulation and it is through this that I wish to address my response. It involves a massage of Japanese origin that is mainly characterized by rhythmic pressures and by treating a person overall: it acts on the body, on the energy that flows in it and on emotions and thoughts.
The stretches and movements on the muscles, meridians, joints and different parts of the body complement the pressures. Unlike other massages, neither oils or creams are used. In fact, contact is always through clothes (comfortable cotton clothing or a piece of material covering the skin).
Muscular contractions, insomnia and anxiety, stress and lack of concentration, emotional inestability, digestive or respiratory problems are all symptoms of personal imbalance and it is here that Shiatsu can help you.
We have the capacity to rediscover our physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual balance. Shiatsu is a pleasant and natural stimulus which awakens our capacity when we have surpressed it.
Japanese Thermi
Relaxation and Energy
The Ito Thermie is a Japanese manual technique which brings together the rebalancing effects of therapeutic herbs, friction and pressure massages and of regulated heat applied by an instrument called a ‘reionki’. During the session, a pleasant and relaxing massage is given on the skin with this apparatus which contains a mixture of pressed herbs (of which Mugwort plant is the main ingredient) which slowly burn.
The effects are especially recommended for imbalances caused by cold and humidity such as common colds and rheumatism. With pains caused by contractures, it helps with tiredness and fatigue, boosts vital defenses, vascularization and oxygenation of the area where it is applied, accelerating cellular renovation.
It is a comforting treatment and although it is offered as a differentiated session of 30/40 minutes doing the complete job in order to obtain maximum benefits, it is sometimes also offered with a Shiatsu session at local level .
