Shiatsu - what is it?

Surely each of us at least once in our lives squeezed our temples or points on the bridge of our nose, trying to drive away an impending migraine or a feeling of nervous tension. This is one of the methods of influencing biologically active points of the head, which we usually do unconsciously.

Shiatsu - manual therapy . The pressure points are applied using the thumb or index finger with continuous pressure, or in combination with a slight rotational movement. Speaking of biologically active points, there are a huge number of them on the head and each of them differs not only in location, but also in hardness, temperature, and sensitivity threshold.

Thanks to shiatsu, you can not only treat your body, but also diagnose diseases of the body.

A professional massage therapist is able to detect and distinguish them even with his eyes closed, influencing “unhealthy” points, revealing them and healing them. Regular and correct influence on such points contributes to their change even externally.
