Of distinct shapes and sizes, the stones are chosen according to the region of the body to be treated, since they must fit perfectly.

Shiatsu

A Japanese massage technique in which the fingers are used to apply pressure to the meridians (the body’s energy pathways), seeking to bring the meridians into balance by normalizing the energy flow. Shi means fingers, and Atsu means pressure. The pressure exerted by the fingers on the meridians acts to balance the vital energy points of the same meridians worked on in acupuncture. A meridian with an excess of energy causes pain and tension, while one that has little energy causes a pleasant pain when touched. In addition to finger pressure, vibrating, patting, rubbing, pinching, and lifting are also used. Recommended for: stress, spine problems, organ function deficiency, and emotional problems. Top
