Although it is a precise<strong> massage protocol<\/strong>, it is entirely possible to adapt it to suit the client&#8217;s <strong>pain<\/strong> and desires. It is this adaptability that has made this<strong> massage technique<\/strong> so popular<strong>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Shiatsu massage aims to<strong> encourage the circulation of energy <\/strong>and<strong> restore physical and emotional balance. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s more, did you know that it was entirely possible to <strong>give a seated Shiatsu massage <\/strong>? Whether you&#8217;re offering <strong>in-house massages<\/strong> or simply express massages, this is an option that can open up your horizons as a <strong>well-being masseur<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In any case, offering seated Shiatsu massages necessarily involves having a <strong>massage chair<\/strong>. Nandara explains everything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shiatsu massage: what is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Shiatsu is based on the principles of <strong>traditional Oriental medicine<\/strong> and aims to stimulate the <strong>flow of vital energy<\/strong> (or <em>qi<\/em>) by working on the body&#8217;s <strong>energy meridians <\/strong>. Its main benefits include<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Stress reduction <\/strong>: it helps to relax both body and mind by releasing accumulated tension<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Improved blood circulation<\/strong>: the pressure applied stimulates circulation, promoting better oxygenation of the tissues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Energy balance<\/strong>: by harmonising the flow of energy, it contributes to emotional and physical balance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prevention of muscular pain <\/strong>: targeted manipulations can relieve chronic tension and pain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p>Whether for the <strong>masseur<\/strong> or the <strong>person being massaged<\/strong>, Shiatsu massage is very enjoyable. Its adaptability helps the<strong> well-being masseur<\/strong> to avoid getting bored. But it&#8217;s also an opportunity to adapt this specific protocol to the needs of the person being massaged, for optimum personalisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why invest in a massage chair to practise Shiatsu? 6 good reasons<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>As well as understanding all the<strong> nuances of Shiatsu massage,<\/strong> you can also invest in a <a href=\"https:\/\/nandara.com\/equipements-materiels-massage-professionnels\/chaises-massage\/\">massage chair<\/a> to be able to offer a <strong>seated version. <\/strong>Discover 6 good reasons why you, as a<strong> masseur or masseuse <\/strong>, should invest in a <strong>massage chair for your Shiatsu<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1 &#8211; Discover Shiatsu massage in a different way<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>First of all, offering the<strong> seated Shiatsu protocol <\/strong>is a great opportunity to see this massage from another angle. Shiatsu massage involves a<strong> holistic understanding of the body<\/strong>, as well as <strong>personalised care<\/strong> for the person being massaged.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The masseur works with<strong> very precise movements, <\/strong>including deep <strong>stretching<\/strong> and <strong>percussion<\/strong>. By adapting this protocol to the use of a massage chair, you learn to work these movements in a different way. By using your <strong>elbows<\/strong> rather than your hands, and by applying particular pressure to certain areas of the <strong>shoulders<\/strong> and <strong>back<\/strong>, you can work on tension in depth.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s an opportunity to<strong> change your approach to Shiatsu<\/strong>, so that you can offer treatment that&#8217;s better adapted to the<strong> needs of your clients.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2 &#8211; Offer your guests an immersive experience<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>A specialist chair for <strong>seated massage<\/strong> is designed to offer <strong>ergonomic seating, <\/strong>facilitating access to <strong>key areas of the body<\/strong> without the need for constant movement or adjustment of position. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>This unique design means you can offer <strong>your client an immersive experience, <\/strong>while ensuring comfort and lumbar support.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>And don&#8217;t forget that most<strong> professional massage chairs<\/strong> are fully adjustable, so you can tailor the settings<em>(height, tilt<\/em>, etc.) to your client&#8217;s <strong>body shape<\/strong>, to ensure optimum comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 &#8211; Offering massages in the workplace<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>As well as providing the ultimate comfort for the person being massaged, learning to<strong> give a Shiatsu massage <\/strong>in a chair will give you another string to your bow: you&#8217;ll be able to offer <strong>massages in your company<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n<p>All you have to do is <strong>choose the folding massage chair <\/strong>of your choice, take it with you and massage employees in your company. This is a great opportunity to start<strong> building your professional network,<\/strong> and sign long-term contracts with certain companies. For example, you agree to visit their <strong>premises<\/strong> once a month, for a whole day, to<strong> massage <\/strong>any<strong> employees <\/strong>who want it. A real asset for <strong>freelance masseurs<\/strong> who want to diversify their business!<\/p>\n\n\n<p>And don&#8217;t forget that Nandara&#8217;s selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/nandara.com\/equipements-materiels-massage-professionnels\/chaises-massage\/chaise-massage-pliante-professionnelle\/\">folding massage chairs<\/a> gives you plenty of options.
