Shia-tsu massage (shiatsu, shiatsu) - famous acupressure
Translated - pin, atsu - pressing - “finger pressure.
There are analogues in Chinese (finger zhen) and Korean practice (su-jok). In Indian Ayurveda it is called marmatherapy (marma - point).
The main difference from the classics is the targeted effect on biologically active points of the body (tsubo). of them on the human body. Each is responsible for a specific organ. And the totality of such points makes up the “meridians” through which the life-giving energy Qi circulates.
The points are usually located between muscle bundles, on tendons, in joints, and in the cavities of bones. In those places on the arteries where the pulse is felt.
There are eight meridians running through the face. They form a very dense energy network.
The point of the method is to press the soft tissue underneath to the bones without displacing or stretching the skin.
We compress the nerve endings and improve the condition of the muscle.
By influencing the tsubo point, we give the muscles a certain load, bringing them into tone. And in this way we control the formation of wrinkles: nasolabial, above the upper lip, around the eyes, we form the oval of the face, and improve skin color.
In addition, in the area of the face and head there are large channels responsible for the functioning of vital organs.
Why Shia Tsu?
Acupressure facial self-massage improves blood circulation, helps smooth out wrinkles and prevents their formation. It also relieves puffiness, keeps the skin healthy and radiant, improves skin color and makes it denser and more elastic.
And all this in a natural way (including the body’s self-healing processes), without much time (maximum 15 minutes a day!) and finances! Subject to its REGULAR use for at least a month.
