Massage Shiatsu:
Shiatsu is a Japanese word meaning "finger pressure" and is a hands-on therapy with its roots in Oriental traditional medicine. It is based on the use of fingers, palm and especially thumbs of one's hand to apply pressure to particular sections on the surface of the body for the purpose of correcting the imbalances of the body, and for maintaining and promoting health. It is also a method contributing to the healing of specific illnesses.
The actual treatment approach and philosophy is similar to acupuncture in its usage of the meridians (energy channels) and tsubo (pressure points), but without the use of needles. The practitioners use fingers and thumb for applying pressure precisely at localized points. For applying pressure over a larger area, they use palms, elbows, knees, and feet. In addition to the pressure itself, shiatsu involves gentle stretch and manipulation techniques.
Stretching exercises and other corrective techniques creates flexibility and balance in the body, both physically and energetically.
Massage Hot Stone:
Hot stone massage is a variation on classic massage therapy. Heated smooth, flat stones are placed on key points on the body that are thought to be energy centers of the body to rebalance the body and mind. The stones are immersed in water and heated until they are within a certain temperature range. The stones may be placed at specific points on the back, in the palms of the hand, or between the toes to improve the flow of energy in your body.
After the hot stones have relaxed the muscles, the massage therapist may put down the stones and use his or her hands to directly massage the skin. The warmth of the hot stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system.
