2 | introDuction
Shiatsu is a form of body massage which was originally
developed in japan around 100 years ago.
It is based on ideas anchored in traditional chinese
medicine, in particular the meridian system, i.e.
the paths in the human body along which energy is
conveyed. The aim of any Shiatsu massage is to promote
the physical, emotional and mental wellbeing of the
person being treated. To do this, energy blocks and
bottlenecks in the meridians need to be dissolved
and the self-regulating ability of the body needs to be
stimulated. Shiatsu therapists achieve this by exercising
pressure in flowing movements along the meridians.
although Shiatsu can be literally translated as "finger
pressure", practitioners also use the heels of
their hands, their elbows and knees as well as their
fingers. In the process, the therapist will use his
or her full body weight in order to generate the required
pressure. massage of a specific point on the sole of the
foot may influence the corresponding organ of the
body. However, we recommend studying relevant
literature and asking your doctor before using
point reflex zone massage to achieve the desired effect.
Using this electric Shiatsu foot warmer, you can provide
yourself or others with a soothing, effective Shiatsu
foot massage with no help required. Besides the intense
Shiatsu massage, the foot warmer also provides a
warming function. Both functions can be used either at
the same time or separately.
