NY Shiatsu: Potential Benefits of Shiatsu Massage
People choose Shiatsu for a variety of reasons. Commonly reported benefits include:
- Relaxation and stress reduction
- Relief from everyday muscle tension
- A greater sense of physical comfort
- Improved awareness of posture and body tension
- Gentle stretching and mobility support
- A calming experience for the mind and body
Research into massage and related bodywork suggests that massage can help with relaxation and may provide short-term relief from certain types of muscle discomfort. However, Shiatsu should not be considered a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment.
