stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system. Some massage therapists place
stones on points that are thought to be energy centres of the body to rebalance the body and
mind. Hot stone massage is suited for people who tend to feel chilly or who have cold feet, or
for people who have muscle tension but prefer a lighter massage, while cool marble stones are
used during a treatment if there is inflammation.

SHIATSU MASSAGE
Shiatsu develop4ed in ancient China around 530 BC and later extended to Japan, Korea and S.E.
Asia. By the 20 th century it became popular in the U.S, Europe and Australia to treat muscular
tensions. Its name comes from the Japanese words “shi” or ginger and “atsu” or pressure. Also
known as acupressure, Shiatsu is a point-pressure massage designed to help regulate the flow of
energy within the body. Its produce a deep relaxation, increases energy levels and brings balance
to the body.
TECHNIQUE
During a shiatsu massage, thumb, fingers, palms or feet apply pressure to specific points on the
body‟s energy pathways, known as meridiens. Other techniques such as rocking, stretches,
vibration and joint rotations are used as well. Loose clothing is worn and it is usually performed
on a mat on the floor.. Shiatsu treatment is holistic, addressing the whole body rather than
focusing on the one area where symptoms are most obvious. This type of massage begins with
gentle stretching and manipulation of the skin to allow the stimulation of energy and relax the
muscles. Depending on the need of the person receiving the massage, it can be very gentle and
calming or used with high pressure, but should never hurt or feel painful.
