Regular massage therapy, particularly shiatsu massage, provides physical and mental benefits for a variety of common issues facing seniors. The skilled masseuses at Aisen Chiryo Doin in Honolulu, HI, have seen a surge in popularity in their massages among seniors. 

Shiatsu is derived from the Japanese words for finger (shi) and pressure (atsu). The art uses the fingers—particularly the thumbs—to apply pressure to specific points on the human body. The benefits include:

  • shiatsu massageTailored Approach: At the beginning of the massage, a masseuse will evaluate their client to determine any patterns of imbalance. This ensures that the benefits of a massage extend well beyond when seniors leave the table.
  • Eliminating Fatigue: Though stimulating the circulatory system, shiatsu massage improves stamina and diffuses symptoms that cause fatigue in the body by restoring flexibility to the muscle tissue and boosting metabolism.
  • Promoting Circulation: Massages encourage blood circulation to help soften the skin, prevent wrinkles, and improve its elasticity.
  • Aiding in Relaxation: In addition to the nature of a massage being quite peaceful, shiatsu targets stress points in the body to provide relaxation.
  • Relieving Muscle Aches: Massages work the muscles to relieve spasms by pressing on acupressure points that release tension.
  • Improving Digestion: Regular weekly shiatsu massage improves the circulatory and digestive system.

Owned by Sensei Fumihikio Indei, a masseuse with decades of training in the art of shiatsu massage, Aisen Chiryo Doin is an award-winning massage therapy school and premier destination for shiatsu massage in Hawaii for more than 30 years.
