Finger pressure that heals
One of the techniques that we offer at our massage center in Santiago de Compostela “Spazio Wellness” is the Shiatsu massage.
This type of massage, added to others like the Relaxing massage and the Pilgrim massage, uses a form of physical therapy originating in Japan that is based on the application of pressure on certain points of the body, using thumbs, fingers and palms of the hands, as well as stretching techniques and joints manipulation. The term “Shiatsu” translates from japanese as “finger pressure”.
The Siatshu massages that we have in our center, located under the stairs of ‘Plaza del Obradoiro’, are of two lenght types: of 30 minutes and 60 minutes.
One of its main functions of a Shiatsu massage is the release of muscular tension.
By stimulating the blood flow, the massage bumps helps carry nutrients and oxygen to the muscles and to the skin.
Shiatsu can give you a feeling of calm and well-being that helps to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Siatshu massages increase the metabolic activity, which may contribute to the burning of calories.
