Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 70’s Shizuto Masunaga Sensei, creator of Keiraku shiatsu (meridian shiatsu), delivered four-week correspondence courses providing students with his own purpose-written material. We saw these course books during a visit to the Iokai Shiatsu Centre in Tokyo and given their valuable content decided to translate and publish them. Other than their historical interest, we believe the four volumes (this is the second) will be extremely helpful to shiatsu students, practitioners and teachers alike. The extensive topics covered in the four manuals range from the history of shiatsu, the Japanese legislature on the subject, how to execute pressure and the rules to follow, basic techniques, exercises for he alth, shiatsu as first aid, clinical shiatsu, shiatsu for children and aesthetics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 70s, Shizuto Masunaga Sensei, a great master and the creator of Keiraku shiatsu (meridian shiatsu) conducted four-month correspondence courses. He sent his students the four manuals he had written to purpose. Given their valuable content, we decided to translate them from Japanese, believing them to be of great help to students, practitioners, and teachers of shiatsu alike. This fourth and last volume illustrates clinical shiatsu, examining a series of common “ailments” and recommending the most appropriate meridian treatment, from the illustration of the symptoms to “how to assess” and “how to cure”. Each section is supported by figures giving the meridian pathways. The final week also considers shiatsu for children and beauty. The concepts are accessible to everyone and are useful for we as practitioners and for the recipients we practice on. Shizuto Masunaga was truly a master, and his words always have something to teach us.

Download or read book Shiatsu Massage Manual written by Dean Otto and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-12-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japanese shiatsu massage entails putting pressure on certain places all over the body. The Japanese word "shiatsu" means "finger pressure" in English. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is the theoretical foundation of this massage method. It centers on the idea of qi (or Chi), the life force energy that is thought to circulate throughout the body via channels called meridians. Rhythmic pressure is applied to different areas along the body's meridians by use of fingers, thumbs, palms, and occasionally elbows or knees during a Shiatsu massage. The objective is to encourage a state of harmony and health by enhancing the flow of Qi. The client stays completely clothed while the shiatsu practitioner works on them on a futon or mat laid out on the floor. To alleviate stress and promote better energy flow throughout the body, Shiatsu practitioners may use finger pressure, stretches, and joint rotations, among other techniques. As a holistic method, it helps with issues including pain, stress, tension, and imbalances in the body. It's important to remember that Shiatsu is its own type of bodywork with its own specific methods and approaches, often including parts of Western medicine's anatomy and physiology, even though it has certain similarities with traditional Chinese medicine. It is recommended that you discuss any health issues with a licensed professional before undergoing a Shiatsu session, as is the case with any type of massage or bodywork.

Download or read book A Practical Guide to Acu points written by Chris Jarmey and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An understanding of acu-points is vital not only for acupuncturists but also for bodyworkers. This user-friendly manual contains current, comprehensive information for both groups, with special emphasis on how shiatsu and tuina therapists can best utilize point knowledge in their practice. Renowned experts Chris Jarmey and Ilaira Bouratinos use succinct text, a well-organized framework, and detailed color anatomical illustrations to clarify the complexities of acu-points. In keeping with normal practice, the authors give the precise anatomical location of a point and illustrate it with a dot, along with alternative locations where relevant. However, the book goes further by delineating the larger area where the point can be activated by pressure, gua sha, and other means. In addition, it explains the optimum physical position for treatment via acupuncture, acupressure, and other strategies, as treatment positions can vary according to the method of point stimulation. The book also documents the distribution of sensation resulting from point stimulation, and differentiates between pressure and needle application where appropriate. A Practical Guide to Acu-Points presents a wealth of carefully researched information equally valuable for professionals, students, and conscientious practitioners.
