Japanese Hand Massage Diploma
Japanese Hand Massage is a unique blend of shiatsu and reflexology and is exclusive to London Therapists. Both shiatsu and reflexology aim to reduce stress, increases deep relaxation, improve circulation, cleanse the body of toxins, balance the whole system and increase energy.
The duration of Japanese Hand Massage can be as short as two or three minutes or as long as thirty, and can be preformed alone or as a part of other massages. Hand massages are especially appreciated by people who use their hands often for activities like word processing, repetitive tasks, hobbies such as knitting, playing tennis or weight lifting, or for more heavy usage such as mechanical or physical labour.
Any condition that creates an energy blockage in the head, shoulders or upper spine responds very well to hand massage. It’s also useful to “open up” a client and help them move on if they are very stuck and grounded, in a physical sense. Physical conditions can block emotional and spiritual growth which is where the link between the hands and the more subtle energy of the body is helpful. Hands are more personal than feet, for example, and some TLC from the therapist can do wonders for emotional trauma.
