Detox With The Best New York City Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy
A massage stimulates the natural cleansing processes of the body. The rhythmic pressure, whether stroking, tapping, or rubbing of fat and tissue, forces toxins out of the circulatory system. The lymph system works with the cardiovascular circulatory system to clean out toxins and transport immune cells through the body. Should the lymph fluid circulation become sluggish, toxins tend to build up. Along with exercise, breathing, and gravity, massage is one of the chief ways to enhance the body’s circulatory and lymph systems.
Shiatsu Massage
Japanese Shiatsu Massage, at Aura Spa, employs distinctive techniques, which specifically make it one of the best New York City massage therapy spas for detoxification. Originating in Japan, Shiatsu Massage was created, based on the Chinese meridian system, which centers on the tenet that nerves act as conduits for energy flow throughout the body. The flow of energy can be obstructed, resulting in health issues and disease. Shiatsu literally means “finger pressure,” and the massage process involves using the fingers, thumbs, knuckles, palms, and elbows to apply pressure to precise areas of the body. Therapists use constant, firm pressure while tapping, rubbing, and squeezing along the meridians to release energy blockages and reestablish the flow of energy.
Shiatsu Massage Therapy delivers an assortment of health benefits, including:
• Detoxification
• Augment blood circulation
• Stress reduction
• Agility enhancement
• Body relaxation
• Energize mind and body
