Japanese Shiatsu is a form of bodywork that consists of gentle finger pressure on certain points on the hands’ connective tissue. Over time, it is believed that Shiatsu self-massage could help the body start healing itself, allowing you to lower stress level.
- Use your thumb on your right hand to apply pressure in the middle of your left palm, pressing that area for 30 to 60 seconds.
- Pull all four fingers of your left hand with the fingers of your right hand to stretch them. Release after 5 seconds.
- Vigorously stroke the inside of your entire left palm with your right thumb for 30 to 60 seconds.
- Finally, flip your hand over and massage the top of your wrist in a circular motion for 30 to 60 seconds.
Switch hands and repeat the exercise.
