Shiatsu Zen, or the Masunaga Shiatsu, a technique directed at correcting psycho-physical dysfunctions and improving or maintaining good health is a form of manipulation applied by the thumbs, the palms of the hands and the elbows, to the meridian canals (lines which intersect the body carrying ki, vital energy) connected with the organs, releasing pure energy.

In this massage, light stroking movements and finger pressure are applied to the head, face and neck; the masseur synchronises these actions with the patient’s breathing, creating a sense of relaxation throughout the whole body; then, using techniques associated with prano-therapy, energy and warmth are transmitted to create a feeling of deep tranquillity and psycho-physical regeneration.

Also known as “zone therapy”, this method uses pressure to stimulate and treat the “reflexology points” found on the palms and soles and liaise with different organs and parts of the body; counteracting physical blockages by means of finger pressure that directs accumulated energy towards the affected zones; valuable in many cases, and especially recommended to treat stress and acute fatigue. 

Aimed at the encouraging wellbeing and physical beauty, this therapy is practised by positioning hot and cold stones (lava and carbon) on the body when it has been massaged previously with essential oils; by means of special pressures and massages, the beneficial properties of the stones are transmitted to the body, stimulating the energy centres, known as chakra. The relaxing and purifying effect of stone therapy makes this treatment natural and healthy as well as being an extremely enjoyable experience.

An Oriental technique aimed at rebalancing the vital energy that flows through the body along the meridian canals that are associated with the correct functioning of the inner organs, restoring the proper harmony between body, mind and soul; lying on the ground, the patient is massaged with pressure exerted by the masseur’s hand (palm and finger), elbow and the knee.

In accord with the natural laws of human anatomy and the flux of vital energy, Indian Massage re-awakens and revitalises the body in its entirety: from the face, head, back, abdomen, to the feet. The benefits are particularly noticeable in a general improvement to the skin, muscle tone, circulation, tone and elasticity of nerves and tendons. It helps to ease the flow of oxygen to the cells and connective tissues. Furthermore it promotes the elimination of toxins, both physical and mental, and raises the body’s immune defences. This massage technique derives from traditional Indian practices, where it is considered an essential daily routine for maintaining an overall state of good health.

This is a fairly forceful massage using manipulations directed at specific groups of muscles, tendons and joints, some of the techniques deriving from modern chiropractic and osteopathic practices. This treatment penetrates deep down to the twelve energy lines so as to re-establish the natural energy balance between body and mind (the vital ki). The Tui-Na Massage is one of the most ancient healing practices of traditional Chinese medicine, as are acupuncture and herbal remedies: employed for over 4,000 years, as confirmed by the Yellow Emperor’s Precepts for Internal Medicine, dating from 2300 BC.
