Traditionally, lomi lomimassage is a deep, therapeutic type of massage designed to release muscle tension and consequently physical and mental stress. Unlike most other massages lomi lomi is performed on the entire body simultaneously. The therapist will use long flowing strokes that go from head to toe in a continuous, rhythmic movement massaging both the top and the underside of the client’s body.
Acupressure is an ancient healing art using the fingers and other parts of the body to skillfully press key points, which stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities. Acupuncture and acupressure use the same pressure points and meridians, but acupuncture employs needles. Acupressure, sometimes supplemented with magnetic therapy or sound therapy,balances or stimulates the enegy (Qi), flow in the body.
In traditional Thai massage - the practitioner guides the recipient through a series of yoga postures while palming and thumbing along the body's energy ("Sen") lines and pressures points. Together these actions result in a comprehensive full body treatment that relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, boosts the immune system and balances the body energetically.
Zen Shiatsu holds that all health problems are related to imbalances in yin and yang, or disharmonies between the internal organs and blockages to the circulation of ki, or energy. This means, problematic spots in the body are determined in a systematic manner before treatment. By visualizing the meridian stream, mapping the abdominal region (hara), identifying meridian diagnosis points and palpating them, the Zen Shiatsu practitioner identifies accurately the meridians to be treated in the patient's body.
