Gold Coast Shiatsu - Shiatsu Massage

Shiatsu is based on the same principles as acupuncture but without the needles, concentrating on meridians or energy lines. Everything is related to the five elements that correspond to different parts of the body: 

Heart = Fire
Kidneys = Water
Spleen = Earth
Lungs = Metal
Liver = Wood

 

The philosophy, as in acupuncture, is to balance the life energy in the body which is disturbed when we become ill. Through a series of finger pressures all over the body along the meridians or pathways, Shiatsu can re-balance the body's energies, regulate the function of the organs and improve circulation.

 

By releasing the body's natural energy flow, our self-healing process is able to take place.

 

Shiatsu practitioners often use their elbows, knees and feet as well as their fingers during therapy, but they seldom use the palms of their hands unlike other traditional Western contact therapies.

 

A Traditional Shiatsu treatment is performed on the floor on a matt.

 

 

Shiatsu and T'ai Chi have something in common.

 

T'ai Chi is like a Shiatsu or deep tissue massage from the inside out.

 

As the muscles relax while in motion, they are gently massaged by the bones underneath and the surrounding tissue.

Even the internal organs and nervous system is gently massaged and can release stress or tension.

We think that only our muscles collect tension, but actually every cell in our body can. Modern physiology
research indicates that all emotions are communicated and stored in every cell of the body, carried through amino acid based neuropeptides from brain to body.

So, T'ai Chi's flowing, effortless, loosening motions cleanse rigidity and stress not only from muscles, but also from the mind and heart, or emotional systems. Each cell holds feelings; therefore old repressed or obsessive feelings can be released through T'ai Chi practice.
