Asian massage therapy

Massage is a relaxation therapy technique which has been practices in India and the Far East for centuries now. So then it is no wonder they've got so many varieties of it, and that it is seeded so deeply into their cultures. But of all the Asian massage techniques, the ones which share the throne in the western world would have to be

• Thai massage
• Asian massage and
• shiatsu.

Although it's old now, it is also noteworthy to mention that the western public has also recently (as of the sixties, onward) become increasingly interested in:

• yoga and
• pilates and
• other holistic types of meditation/exercise.

The Varieties of Asian Massage

The roots of Thai massage are in India. This type of massage makes use of

• guided stretching
• Meridian pressure point therapy and
• pranayama (which is an ancient breathing technique that boosts the immune system, and assists in focusing).

During the course, these breathing techniques are used to relax the muscles of the body, as well as stimulate and strengthen the nervous system. During the massage, the focus is cast on two points:

• the fact that there are energy channels which flow throughout the body, and
• the different body muscles.

This type of massage also incorporates elements of yoga, which makes it all the more enjoyable. One of the results of this would be a more focused concentration and more effective oxidation of the blood.

“Tui na”, that is to say the 5000 year-old Chinese acupressure technique, involves applying pressure to some of the critical points of the human body. It's somewhat a tougher massage technique, but the benefits make it worth it: the activation of self-healing abilities of the human body, among other things. Other benefits include treating:

• back pain
• migraines
• headaches
• weight management issues
• anxiety, and last but not least
• stress.

The Japanese Shiatsu (approx. translation: finger pressure) has its roots seeded deep in Japanese philosophy. This massage technique involves energy rebalance, physical well-being by means of applying pressure to certain parts of the body using the palms, thumbs and fingers.

Acupressure is a technique similar to acupuncture, where fingers in the former are used similarly to needles in the latter. Many different body parts are affected by this technique.

Its goal of massage therapy is to assist the body to heal itself, as well as enhance the health and the person's general well-being.
