What Is Shiatsu Massage Therapy?

Shiatsu massage therapy is a treatment many chiropractors use to relieve back pain and other wellness benefits. Lang Chiropractic provides chiropractic care and massage therapy in Abington, PA. You have many massage treatment options to consider, and Shiatsu might be the best option for you. Here's what to expect if you visit our office for a Shiatsu massage.

Shiatsu Massage Uses Pressured Adjustments

A massage therapist will perform a Shiatsu massage with the fingers, thumbs, and palms. The therapist's goal is to use pressure to address imbalances and injuries. The idea is that applying pressure to specific points will promote energy flow through the body. While the massage will use some force, you can rest assured knowing it will be a relaxing experience.

Shiatsu Helps with Several Issues

You may find this massage calming if you have difficulties regulating your body's systems, including the nervous or lymphatic system. This technique can also relieve back pain and treat sprains, joint problems, poor posture, neck pain, and sinus issues. A massage can also reduce your blood pressure and heart rate, inducing relaxation if you've been under stress.

Shiatsu Are Combined with Other Treatment Options

Our chiropractor may recommend other therapeutic options to get the most out of your massage, including corrective exercises, stretching, acupressure, and adjustments. Different massage techniques may also be helpful. For example, your practitioner might combine Shiatsu with Swedish massage therapy.
