Shiatsu Combination Massage is a hybrid form of bodywork that combines elements from both Shiatsu and Swedish massage techniques to provide a comprehensive therapeutic experience. Shiatsu, which originated in Japan, focuses on finger pressure applied to specific points on the body, known as acupressure points. 

This technique aims to balance the body's energy flow, known as "qi" or "chi," and promote self-healing by stimulating the body's natural energy pathways, or meridians.
Swedish massage, on the other hand, is a more universally known technique that involves long, flowing strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, and tapping. Developed in Sweden, this method primarily aims to relax the entire body, improve blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and enhance overall flexibility. The strokes are often performed with oil or lotion to reduce friction and ensure a smooth, soothing experience.

When combined, Traditional Shiatsu Swedish Massage offers the best of both worlds. Practitioners use the deep, targeted pressure of Shiatsu to address specific areas of tension and energy blockages while employing the gentle, flowing strokes of Swedish massage to promote overall relaxation and well-being. This blend can be particularly effective for individuals seeking both the therapeutic benefits of acupressure and the calming, restorative effects of a traditional massage. The result is a holistic approach that not only addresses physical discomfort but also supports emotional and energetic balance.
