Benefits of Shiatsu Massage

There is a type of massage therapy that was created in Japan. The meaning of the work is "finger pressure", so it is a therapy that uses the fingers to put pressure on the area that is being treated. There are specific practitioners that focus only on this are professionals. When this is used on the body most people notice a relaxed feeling and become very calm. Joint pain, neck and low back pain can reduced which is why many people choose this form of therapy. It also works to help to correct the muscle imbalances of the body and to improve the immune system.

Many spinal pain clinics in Los Angeles incorporate this because it is beneficial for patients. It is often used in combination with other treatments. So many patients are stressed and hold a lot of muscle tension and when a treatment is used to work on the spine it can work better in a relaxed state. There has been much support by the medical community for the treatment of whiplash injury and neck and shoulder pain. The soft tissues are damaged in a car accident or sporting injury and this type of massage can help heal the area. The muscles can become imbalanced after the trauma and need to be worked on. Correcting these is a critical step in the healing process.
