Feeling Stiff? Discover Shiatsu Massage in Lanzarote for Energy and Well-being.
Hello from Masajes Lanzarote! I’m Diego Chantada, your professional massage therapist here on this beautiful island. Today, I want to tell you about a type of massage that’s becoming increasingly popular and that I’m sure you’ll love: Shiatsu massage. It might sound exotic, but it’s actually a wonderful way to restore balance and feel much better both physically and mentally. More and more people are looking for therapies that not only relieve the body but also help us connect with ourselves, and Shiatsu is exactly that: a holistic approach to your well-being.
Shiatsu? Sounds Exotic, But It’s Simpler Than You Think. Let Me Tell You About It.
The word “Shiatsu” comes from Japanese and literally means “finger pressure” . Although the modern technique was developed in Japan, its roots lie in ancient Japanese massage practices called An-Ma and the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine . Imagine your body as a garden full of vital energy, which we call “Ki” or “Qi” . This energy flows through specific pathways, like rivers within you, called meridians. Sometimes, due to stress, poor posture, or fatigue, these “rivers” get blocked, and that’s where Shiatsu can help you.
The Superpowers of Shiatsu: How Can It Help You?
Shiatsu has many benefits that I’m sure you’ll notice in your daily life here in Lanzarote:
- For Stress and Anxiety: Feeling overwhelmed by everyday life? Do you feel tension building up in your shoulders and neck? Shiatsu is a fantastic tool to slow down, deeply relax, and let your worries fade away . It’s like a deep breath for your mind and body.
- Relief from Muscle Pain and Headaches: If you suffer from those typical aches and pains from spending too much time in the same position, or if tension causes you headaches, Shiatsu can be your great ally . Pressure on key points helps release tension and makes you feel much lighter.
- Improved Circulation: Do your legs feel tired or heavy? Shiatsu stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, helping energy flow better throughout your body. Great if you spend a lot of time sitting or standing!.
- An Energy Boost: Feeling tired for no apparent reason? Sometimes, what you need is to unblock that vital energy that’s there but not flowing correctly. Shiatsu can revitalize you and make you feel more energetic to enjoy everything Lanzarote has to offer .
- Helps You Sleep Better: If worries or stress keep you awake at night, a Shiatsu session can help you deeply relax and prepare your body and mind for a restful sleep .
What’s a Shiatsu Session Like with Me at Masajes Lanzarote?
When you come to my practice for a Shiatsu session, you’ll feel comfortable from the start. We don’t use oils or creams, so you’ll stay in comfortable clothing, preferably cotton . The session usually lasts around 60 minutes, although we can adapt to your specific needs. You’ll lie on a massage table, where I’ll apply gentle but firm pressure with my fingers, thumbs, palms, and even elbows on specific points of your body . These points are related to the energy meridians I mentioned earlier. In addition to pressure, I may also include gentle stretches to help you release even more accumulated tension .
Shiatsu vs. Other Massages: What’s the Difference?
Sometimes I get asked how Shiatsu differs from other types of massage, like Swedish massage. Well, while Swedish massage focuses more on muscle relaxation through long, flowing strokes with oils, Shiatsu focuses on balancing the body’s energy through pressure on specific points . Both are fantastic, but Shiatsu has that energetic component that makes it unique.
Is Shiatsu Right for You? Let’s Talk About How You Feel!
If you identify with any of the issues I’ve mentioned, such as stress, anxiety, muscle pain, lack of energy, or trouble sleeping, Shiatsu might be just what you need. It’s a gentle yet very effective therapy, suitable for almost everyone . However, if you have any specific medical conditions, such as infectious diseases, skin problems, severe inflammation, or liver or pancreas issues, I always recommend checking with your doctor first to make sure it’s right for you .
