What method is shiatsu massage?
Shiatsu massage originated from acupoint therapy which has been circulating in China for thousands of years. It massages acupoints with fingers, dredges meridians and relieves fatigue and pain. In recent years, it has been gradually accepted by western medicine and become a unique alternative therapy.

Operation:

According to the intensity of acupressure, it can be divided into tonic method and purgative method. When the body is weak due to chronic diseases and other factors, it is generally only lightly pressed, which is called "tonic method", that is, supplementing energy, which is a stimulating method to promote organs to return to normal state. When muscles are tense and have intense pain, they are stressed, which is called "purging method", which is a stimulation method to inhibit excessive energy. Press for 3 ~ 5 seconds each time, rest for 2 ~ 3 seconds, and then press for 3 ~ 5 seconds, and repeat 3 ~ 5 times for each part.
