About the Business
Welcome to Ancient Touch Remedies, a renowned establishment located in Mount Sheridan, Royal Saxon Close, Australia. At our institution, we specialize in the ancient healing therapy known as Shiatsu massage.
Shiatsu massage therapy originated in Japan over a century ago and is based on the traditional Japanese amma massage. The term "Shiatsu" translates to "finger pressure," as this therapy utilizes the natural body weight of the practitioner's fingers, thumbs, forearms, elbows, knees, and feet to apply pressure to specific points on the body. The practitioner moves in a rhythmic sequence, incorporating rocking movements, stretching, and joint rotations to restore the body's healthy flow of energy, known as "ki."
Unlike other massage techniques that focus on specific areas of the body, Shiatsu addresses the body as a whole. The main goal of Shiatsu is to rebalance the ki energy along with the meridians or energy channels. By accessing the meridians through surface touch on specific points called "Tsubo," the practitioner identifies excessive (Jitsu) or deficient (Kyo) ki and adjusts the body's movement accordingly.
Before beginning a Shiatsu session, our practitioners thoroughly examine the client's pulse, tongue, face, hara (the stomach area), and spinal column to determine the most suitable treatment approach. Clients remain fully clothed and have the option to lie down or sit throughout the session, which typically lasts for about an hour.
During the treatment, our skilled practitioners use their fingers, thumbs, and palms to apply pressure in a continuous and rhythmic sequence. Shiatsu incorporates various techniques such as pressure, holding, rubbing, heating, stretching, or a combination of these, all applied with sensitivity. This comprehensive approach aims to provide a holistic treatment experience for the patient.
Shiatsu massage promotes the natural flow of ki energy and facilitates healing. According to ancient Japanese tradition, blockages in the flow of ki energy can lead to various illnesses or conditions. Scientific theory also supports the benefits of Shiatsu, showing that it calms the sympathetic nervous system, stimulates blood and lymph circulation, reduces stress, lessens pain severity, increases energy, promotes recovery from injuries, and stimulates the digestive system.
Our one-hour Shiatsu massage involves firm and manipulative techniques that work deep into the muscles. It is performed without the use of body oils, creams, or lotions, allowing the client to remain fully clothed on a padded mat or massage table. However, if the client prefers a more intense bodywork experience, our practitioners can incorporate advanced techniques using their knuckles, elbows, feet, and knees in addition to their fingers and palms.
Before your Shiatsu session, we recommend avoiding heavy meals and drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated. For individuals with acute or chronic pain, we advise receiving treatment two or three times a week. However, if you simply want to incorporate Shiatsu into your wellness routine for optimal health maintenance, a monthly massage will suffice.
At Ancient Touch Remedies, we are committed to providing the highest quality Shiatsu massage therapy to our clients. Our skilled practitioners are dedicated to helping you experience the numerous benefits of this ancient healing technique.
