Shiatsu is an ancient Japanese massage technique based on the principles of traditional Eastern medicine. This practice aims to restore the body's energetic balance while providing deep relaxation, improving both physical and mental well-being. At Les Massages d’Agadir, our certified therapists use their expertise to support your inner balance.
1. The principles of Shiatsu
Shiatsu uses targeted pressure applied with fingers, palms, and sometimes elbows on specific points of the body called acupuncture points or meridians. The goal is to release energetic blockages and promote the smooth flow of vital energy, or Ki, throughout the body. This energy stimulation has beneficial effects on the nervous system and muscle relaxation.
2. Physical benefits
Shiatsu acts directly on muscle and joint tension. It relieves chronic pain, reduces stiffness, and improves body flexibility. The effects are particularly noticeable on the back, neck, shoulders, and limbs, contributing to lasting physical comfort after each session.
3. Mental and emotional benefits
By harmonizing vital energy, Shiatsu reduces stress and anxiety, enhances concentration, and calms the mind. It is known to improve sleep quality and stimulate deep relaxation, offering emotional and mental balance. This technique is ideal for those seeking to reconnect with their body and mind.
4. A unique sensory experience
At Les Massages d’Agadir, each Shiatsu session is tailored to the specific needs of the client. The soothing atmosphere, soft music, and personalized attention create a holistic experience where body and mind regain balance and harmony.
5. Who is Shiatsu for?
Shiatsu is suitable for everyone, young or old, looking to improve their overall well-being, relieve muscle pain, or reduce daily stress. It integrates perfectly into a regular relaxation routine or can be experienced occasionally for an intense moment of relaxation.
