Shiatsu is a hands-on massage therapy optimized to regulate the flow of energy throughout the body. Many massage therapists in Arizona utilize this specialized technique—often trying to detect the condition that leads to symptoms like inflammation and muscle tension in the client. Once the therapist identifies the point/s of tension and stiffness, they will generally apply pressure by using their thumbs, palms and fingers, and by applying them to the particular regions of the body that are in duress.

Shiatsu, much like acupuncture in Arizona, also is part of Chinese meridian system of energy treatment. However, the hallmarked differences between them are that the discussed method does not promote any poking of needles into the client’s body for relieving the symptoms, as is found with day spa massage treatments like Chinese acupuncture in Arizona. On the other hand, the same method makes an elaborate use of techniques like rubbing, tapping and squeezing in order to apply pressure to relieve energy blockages in the body. Therefore, it is justified to say that most of the methods of this particular massage therapy aim at reviving the flow of positive energy (called Ki) that flows throughout the body.  

According to massage therapy specialists in Arizona, shiatsu, due to its tremendous relieving effects, acts as a potent intermediary between nature and the receiver, or the client. The therapist in this relaxation method optimizes four varied forms to sense blockages or tensions in the body’s system. These four forms include: Sensing, asking, touching and looking. The application of these forms of diagnosis aids the specialist in detecting the degree of energy imbalances throughout the entire body’s system. Once the exact condition of the candidate is detected, the treatment method is then selected accordingly. The shiatsu treatment works on three varied levels: Physical, energetic and spiritual.  

Shiatsu treatments in Arizona work wonders at relieving and regulating most of the anatomical systems inside of the body. Shiatsu has been proven to be effective with relieving symptoms of many different types of stressful conditions, such as those that occur from working all the way to menstruation, and even injuries. Typically, during the treatment the candidate is asked to change varied positions for the proper implementation of the Shiatsu relaxation procedure. Most sessions of the therapy lasts for a period of 40-60 minutes, depending upon the procedure chosen for the candidate.
