Through firm, rhythmic pressures applied to specific points for three to ten seconds each, the shiatsu therapist attempts to unblock the energy that flows through the acupuncture meridians. The pressure used depends on the person's needs. Other techniques used include kneading, stroking, tapping, and stretching done by a shiatsu instructor.

Energy boosting therapies such as yoga, shiatsu, reflexology, meditation and relaxation exercises, and brisk walking may make you more comfortable during menopause. In fact, this time period may even become one of the most rewarding stages in a woman's life. Although in some cases, hormone replacements can give almost instant relief of symptoms, they unwittingly allow toxins to build up to the point of saturation. This becomes the cause of more serious illness later, such as cancer or thrombosis. HRT does not correct metabolic imbalances in the body. | | You are involved in practices such as meditation, energy healing, and bodywork, including, shiatsu, Reflexology, massage, Tai Chi, Yoga and other forms of physical exercise. You feel that the disease will disappear by itself once you have learned the accompanying lesson(s) and are ready to embrace the necessary changes initiated by this illness.
As you may have guessed, persons who are in category 3 or have similar personality traits are better candidates for the placebo effect or for healing themselves than those in categories 1 and 2. |

Jim Shin Do, another Japanese bodywork technique, is based on Jim Shin Jyutsu, a technique developed byjiro Murai. Master Murai based his system on moving qi through the meridians by using certain combinations of acupressure points in a special sequence. | | Acupuncture uses needles for this purpose, while acupressure (for example, shiatsu or Jin Shin Do) uses rubbing, kneading, or other types of pressure from the fingers and hands.
Reflexology Massage to Promote Sleep
For a better night's rest, here's a simple self-massage to do before bed. For the best effect, take a relaxing soak in a hot tub with a few drops of calming essential oils, such as lavender, rose otto, patchouli, Roman chamomile, sandalwood, or most citrus, before you do the self-massage. You can also rub diluted essential oils directly on your skin to help you further relax.15

See book keywords and concepts |  The massage technique of shiatsu stimulates acupuncture points with the practitioner's fingers, using pressure or tapping. Several Energy Psychology techniques have the doctor or patient tap on certain points with their fingertips, and with correct application are able to produce dramatic and immediate improvements in the patient's self-reported emotional state. Acupuncture points conduct electricity even when needles aren't used. |

It is used to relieve ailments including allergies, arthritis, asthma, digestive disorders, incontinence, insomnia, back pain, migraine, depression and tension.

See book keywords and concepts | | Acupressure and the healing art of shiatsu (a massage technique) are commonly referred to as "acupuncture without needles." Like acupuncture, acupressure seeks to restore health by restoring the normal flow of chi, the life energy that flows through the body along pathways called meridians. While acupuncture uses the insertion of needles to promote energy flow, acupressure uses finger and hand pressure. During pressure stimulation, neurotransmitters, which help to inhibit the reception and transmission of pain, are released.
Acupressure is a safe, simple, and inexpensive treatment. | | Other techniques used include kneading, stroking, tapping, and stretching done by a shiatsu instructor.
• Sports massage. A combination of kneading, passive stretching, and range of deep-tissue motions, sports massage is designed to ease muscle strain and promote flexibility. It is most effective when applied before or after exercising.
• Swedish massage. This technique, developed by Peter Hendricks Ling in the early 1800s, uses kneading, stroking, tapping, and shaking to induce the body to relax. |

American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) 820 Davis St. | | In the United States, there are two basic massage styles, Swedish and shiatsu, with dozens of offshoots whose different names obscure the fact that many have a good deal in common. Esalen massage, lay-ing-on of hands and therapeutic touch, among others, derive from Swedish massage. Acupressure massage, do-in {doe-em), polarity therapy and reflexology are just some of the styles that have roots in shiatsu.
In addition, some schools of hands-on healing combine massage with posture training, movement re-education or deep tissue manipulation. | | Acupressure and its Japanese counterpart, shiatsu, dispense with needles and use deep fingertip massage of the same points. {Shiatsu is a combination of two Japanese words, shi, meaning "finger" and atsu, meaning "pressure.") Reflexology uses finger pressure on just the feet, hands and ears.
Needle acupuncture is better known and more popular than its fingertip cousins, and experts consider it more effective. Acupressure puts some people off because they doubt their ability to find the therapeutic points for self-treatment. In fact, it's easy to find useful points. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The benefits of acupuncture treatment can be achieved without the use of needles through the practice of shiatsu, also known as acupressure. shiatsu, which can be performed on children, is recommended for the treatment of back pain and headache and for people who have strong aversions to needles. It is also appropriate when the pain of muscle spasms or fibromyalgia is so intense that only brief contact with the skin can be tolerated.
