How Massage and Shiatsu Help You

Regular sessions increase relaxation and reduce stress and brings to light minor ailments that can then be treated before they become serious problems.

Study of An Injured Muscle

An animal muscle tissue was subjected to a crushing injury and later examined microscopically after treated with massage showed the following results:
1- Normal appearance of the muscle.
2- No secondary fibrous bands separating the muscle fibers.
3- No fibrous thickening around the vessels.
4- Greater general bulk of the muscle.
5- NO sign of hemorrhage.
It has been concluded after this study that massage may lessen the amount of fibrous that inevitably develops in immobilized injured muscle. Because, muscle is the only tissue in the body that contract, it follows the excessive or continuous contraction, especially for a prolonged period of time can lead to abnormality. It is interesting to know that over the years, many patients after treatments of Shiatsu and massage experience considerable relieve from arthritis and adhesive capsulitis, tension headache and so forth.

What a Treatment Involves

A detailed medical history is taken on the first visit and specific concerns are discussed. Prior to the treatment, your therapist will inform you what to expect during and after the session, and will propose a treatment plan based on your initial assessment and health history. Written and verbal information from clients is completely confidential unless you sign a consent form to release your record.
The session is an hour in length. Some clients like to talk during treatment. However, sometimes talking detracts from entering a state of relaxation, but if you feel comfortable, you may give feedback to the therapist about your needs.
In Massage treatments, clients are usually are asked to be undressed (as one is comfortable) and is covered or draped with sheets and towels so that only the part of the body being worked on is exposed to any given time. Oil or lotion will be used to reduce skin friction.
In Shiatsu treatments, no oil, lotion, needles or medical devices are used. Treatment is done on a soft mattress on the floor or table and the client being fully dressed.
