What is massage?

There are various types of massage, such as anma, shiatsu, and oil massage, but it is a treatment that uses the palms and fingers to rub the skin and loosen the muscles, relieving tension, recovering from fatigue, and improving lymph and blood flow that is causing circulatory disorders.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any of the following symptoms.

What effect does promoting lymphatic and blood flow have on the body?

Promoting lymphatic and blood flow in particular is said to be extremely beneficial for the body during massage, but do you know the reasons and mechanisms behind this?

Lymph nodes are places where lymphatic fluid collects, and there are many of them above the shoulders. This lymphatic fluid eventually flows into a blood vessel called the subclavian vein in the shoulder, but if the flow is stagnant, the lymphatic fluid accumulates, which can cause stiff shoulders and muscle pain.

Our bodies need to absorb nutrients and excrete waste smoothly so that cells can constantly divide and stay alive. However, if this does not work well, it can cause a variety of health problems, including rough skin, chills, swelling, muscle stiffness, as well as impaired organ function and autonomic nerve disorders. Therefore, improving blood flow is extremely important for maintaining good health.

Our body is made up of 200 bones and 600 muscles, and we need the right knowledge to support them. In order to reduce the burden on the body and get the maximum effect, it is necessary to understand the functions of bones, muscles, joints, and internal organs and take appropriate care.

The Benefits of Massage on the Body

Muscle Relaxation and Fatigue Recovery

Massage can help relieve muscle tension. Especially after long hours of desk work or exercise, when muscles become stiff or fatigued, massage helps restore flexibility and aids in the removal of fatigue-causing substances.

Improved Blood Circulation and Lymphatic Flow

Massage enhances blood circulation, helping oxygen and nutrients to be efficiently delivered throughout the body. It also promotes lymphatic flow, aiding in the removal of waste and toxins, thereby boosting immune function.

Stress Reduction and Mental Relaxation

Massage provides a soothing stimulus that can lower stress hormone levels. This leads to mental relaxation and helps alleviate anxiety and tension.

Improved Sleep Quality

The relaxation effects of massage promote deep sleep. Especially for those suffering from insomnia or light sleep, massage is an effective method for improving sleep quality.

  Under Japanese law, any massage, massage, or osteopathic treatment that involves physical contact requires a national license, such as an acupuncturist, masseuse, or judo therapist. However, due to the lack of awareness among the general public and the lack of police enforcement, there are now many establishments that indiscriminately ignore the law.

“I can trust you”

I have been receiving treatment from the doctor at Medical Japan Tachikawa for two years. A friend introduced me to him and said, “He’s a handsome guy,” but I just wanted him to be skilled. I have two daughters, and the doctor at Medical Japan Tachikawa is the same age as my children. At first, I was worried because I didn’t know what kind of person he was, but now I think he is so good that I wish he were my child. He is kind and soothing, and sometimes he gives me advice and treats each person equally.

First of all, he greets me with a pleasant greeting, then he listens to my pain points seriously (this is gentle) and starts the massage, and during that time he responds and responds seriously (this heals). I am really happy. Everyone is normal, whether they are mentally disabled, speech-impaired, or paralyzed. He treats everyone as a normal person, so I trust him wholeheartedly.

My best memory of my relationship with the doctor is when I was suddenly hospitalized and he came to visit me right away. I was really in pain at the time, so I was really happy when he came. I think it is because the doctors at Medical Japan Tachikawa take pride in their work that they give proper massages (and acupuncture and moxibustion are also available).
