Energy-boosting Practice - Shiatsu

According to Shirley Scranta of the International School of Shiatsu, in Doylestown, Pa. Practitioners, Shiatsu which means finger pressure in Japanese helps loosen energy, which can alleviate pain. She further stress saying, "We press os specific points on the body, called tsubos or energy-gathering points, and hold those until you feel them opening and the energy flowing."

Furthermore, thumbs, knuckles, forearms, even elbows are use to provide vigorous, deep pressure, assessing which line of energy is most deficient to determine where to work first. By stimulating acupressure points, Shiatsu triggers the body's curative abilities with the external pressure releases internal pressure to improve blood circulation, which further eases pain.

In fact, a year ago, Caitrin Rames, 31, of Iowa City, started weekly Shiatsu treatment to help with migraines and lower back pain. She says, "For acute pain, it's better than any medications I've tried."

Fortunately, grasping through this information, I started practicing this energy-boosting, stress-reliever treatment as I lay fully clothed on a low-massage table or futon.

It truly relaxes me. Amazingly, such a nice feeling to be stress-free!
