Barefoot Healing Massage
A traditional Japanese healing technique, Ashiatsu is the combination of basic massage and acupressure techniques. Literally meaning"finger pressure" (itsu), this ancient technique is simply called ashiatsu by its practitioners. And although ashiatsu massage might appear unconventional, with the majority of professionals holding onto specially-installed ceiling racks to keep their balance as they walk on a nervous customer's back, this kind of massage is rapidly being heralded as an intense, deep-tissue massage. Unlike the more commonly known deep tissue massage, which targets and eliminates chronic muscle tension, shiatsu is categorized as a"hands-on" technique, using the patient's own hand for the treatment. And even though the treatment may feel like it's far from relaxing, the area is amazingly painless for the patient.
As the pro manipulates and kneads muscles, soothing rhythmical pulses are used to stimulate points throughout the body. The palms are used for friction strokes, while gentle strokes and circular movement are used for tapping. Stress is also applied to specific points and this provides a range of beneficial results including the relief of muscle tension, stiffness, stiffness, and even migraines and other types of headaches. Some therapists use their thumbs and palms in combination to make a tapping action to release certain points. However, some therapists believe that a mix of thumbs, fingers and even elbows create the best results.
When receiving ashiatsu for the first time, it's important to be very aware of how the treatment is being applied. Because the technique involves the use of both the hands and the feet, the therapist must be totally balanced and in good physical condition. Due to the nature of this Ashiatsu discipline, therapists cannot simply place their hands on their clients' bodies and start giving them ashiatsu. In actuality, many times it's essential for the client to lie on their stomach and then the therapist 포항출장마사지 must kneel or sit upon their back to provide the proper shiatsu treatment.
To perform the shiatsu massage, the therapist should be able to feel where exactly in a person's body areas pain is emanating from. By making regular visits to some Barefoot Massage therapist, a person will be able to discover precisely where their problems lie and be provided a specialized treatment that's sure to help alleviate the issue. It is important to note that a barefoot massage is different from a traditional massage because the techniques used are more intense. Although they may appear to be rather similar, the critical differences between the two include the fact that the Barefoot massage concentrates on using the full body in its care when performing the shiatsu technique.
A typical Barefoot massage can have the client lie on their stomach and have the therapist use his or her entire hand in applying pressure on specific parts of the body. This pressure is usually employed with palms and fingers but it may also use the elbows, the palms bottoms of the feet, and even the buttocks. The therapist may also apply pressure to specific points like those located on the backbone or the sacrum. Each region of the body is massaged in a particular area with the focus being the relief of stress and the easing of tense muscles.
Another common technique in Barefoot massage is where the therapist uses one foot at a time. The first foot is placed directly on top of another foot and then the first foot is lifted off the ground and placed in the opposite position. So as to stretch out the muscles of the lower back, the second foot is placed directly on top of the first foot and lightly worked back in place. The next foot is then raised off the floor and gently worked back into position before repeating with the third foot.
Barefoot massage can be achieved using any hand, but many therapists prefer to use both hands to give each individual pressure points more relief. One technique used is called shiatsu massage which is derived from the Japanese words for foot and hand, as (hand) and sutora (foot). In shiatsu massage the hands are not always visible and the therapist uses massage strokes that involve turning and twisting of the hands and feet in circular patterns around the area needing treatment. Barefoot shiatsu massage is usually used to ease tension in the muscles, joints, tendons and tissues of the legs and feet. It can also help reduce swelling and protect tissues from injury.
Barefoot shiatsu is quite effective for the treatment of sports injuries, cramps, varicose veins and swollen feet. However, it should not be used for bruises, open wounds or too much pressure due to the fact that the feet are often swollen and sensitive during a Barefoot session. It is most effective for neck, back and leg pain, muscular and skeletal issues, varicose veins, and other disorders of the feet and legs when done correctly by a highly trained massage therapist.
