Getting To Know Your Appliance; Proper Use - Beurer MG 254 Instrucciones Para El Uso

The aim of any Shiatsu massage is to promote the physical, emotional and mental wellbeing of the person
being treated. To do this, energy blocks and bottlenecks in the meridians need to be dissolved and the self-
regulating ability of the body needs to be stimulated.
Shiatsu therapists achieve this by exercising pressure in flowing movements along the meridians. Although
Shiatsu can be literally translated as "finger pressure", practitioners also use the heels of their hands, their
elbows and knees as well as their fingers. In the process, the therapist will use his or her full body weight in
order to generate the required pressure.
