ACUPRESSURE


The Touch therapy is the traditional method. This is the oriental healing method

in which we are not medically treat the person but trying to comfort them.

This system is known as Shiatsu.


It is learnt that Originally shiatsu was practiced in China and brought to Japan in

Sixth century. In Japanese the word “shi” means finger and “ atsu “ means

pressure. In this method specific bodies on the body surface are pressed with

finger. Now, it is recognized in Japan as a medical technique.


As per Chinese medical practice , in a healthy body life energy is balanced and

flows freely thro’ Fourteen invisible channels called Meridians.

It states that Twelve channels are directly connected to internal organs and

balance two channels deals with vital circulatory functions.

When the vital energy becomes imbalanced are blocked in specific points in

the channels, vitality drops and sickness occur. These points are called

Acupoints.

If in an Acupoint energy is blocked, it becomes sensitive to pressure.

In shiatsu the acupoints are pressed to remove the energy blocks and dliagnose

the presence of disease.

Shiatsu creates a deep feeling of well being, vitality and relaxation, and is an

effective tool in preventing disease.

It removes muscular stiffness, reduce tensions, relieve fatigue and strengthen the

internal organ.

DIAGNOSIS BY TOUCH


Shiatsu acts as diagnostic technique as well as treatment it self.

Pain and tenderness of a point or an area indicates that energy imbalance exixts

in that point. For example, soreness on the inside ankle of woman refers to

menstrual trouble. Treating this area helps to relieve period cramps and pain.


Point locations are derived by measurements based on body ratios. The most

commonly used measurement is the “body inch” which is the distance of the

width of the thumb at the widest point.

The four fingers together are considered three body inches.
