Benefits of massage
Shiatsu massage therapy, also known as acupressure (not to be confused with acupuncture), uses extensively thumb and fingers pressure massage techniques. It was originated in Japan and works on the tsubo or energy points in a similar way, but not exactly in the same way as the better known (to the West ) Chinese meridian system. The pressure is applied along the meridians to unblock energy blockages and reintroduce the optimal flow of ki. The massage treatment includes a combination of many other different techniques, including pressing, hooking, sweeping, shaking, rotating, grasping, vibrating, patting, plucking, lifting, pinching, rolling, brushing .
In Eastern medicine, each person is primarily responsible for his or her own illness, health and well-being. Touch has a special role in helping the patient to recognise where the pain comes from as well as helping to reduce it. . This contrasts with the Western belief that the medical practitioner is principally responsible for our health and his job is to fix our body as if it were a machine, even replacing its parts when necessary.
In Western medicine an awareness of the unique significance of touch, the essential form of communication between two human beings in the fight to subdue pain, has all but disappeared, certainly it has become minimal. Ironically it was up to the event of Western medicine, in all times and all cultures that the importance of touch, just touch itself, has been acknowledged as a primary means to mitigate pain.
