Pain Relieving Benefits
Shiatsu assists in pain relieving qualities with the secretion of endorphins. Endorphins are chemical messengers within the brain which act as a natural analgesics, suppressing pain as well as regulating the body’s response to stress and determining your mood. The high that runners and swimmers get is the result of the release of endorphins during physical exertion. Shiatsu stimulates the release of this natural pain killer. Enkephalins are found in high concentration in the brain as well as in the cells of adrenal medulla. In response to pain, norepinephrine, a hormone that is activated in fight-or-flight response is released along with endorphins.
Origin of pain
The origin of the pain is not always caused by the painful area, but could just as well be found somewhere else in the body. Back problems, for instance, are a well-known symptom of organs that are out of balance. The Shiatsu massage brings the whole body back in balance in a natural way.Shiatsu is based on the idea that the patient must be treated, not the illness.
Almost all complaints and disorders can be treated with Shiatsu. Examples are for instance: back troubles, headaches, and stress, breathing and digestion problems. In case of overtiredness, emotional problems and stress-related complaints, Shiatsu can also have a positive influence. Dopamine: Often called the "happy hormone," dopamine results in feelings of well-being. A primary driver of the brain's reward system, it spikes when we experience something pleasurable.
