Japanese Massage Training "Soku Shindo".

Soku shindo literally means "immediate depth". It is a traditional Japanese massage practiced since the 5th century. It is an integral part of the Anma system, the ancestor of Shiatsu, along with seated Amma and Teno Anma. Its practice has been regulated in Japan since 1947. This gentle and stimulating massage has the advantage of being less painful on sensitive or fragile areas than Chinese or Thai foot reflexology commonly known as Royal Foot. Although it is primarily practiced on the area of ​​the feet, the arch of the foot and the back, its effects go far beyond this area to extend to the whole body, according to the principle of stimulating reflex zones. Like all disciplines of Japanese massage, its purpose is to restore energy imbalances, regulate Qi, harmonize the body and soothe the mind. On a physical level, it relaxes the muscle mass of the feet, restores some flexibility to the joints and improves mobility. Soku Shindo is very popular with people who enjoy foot massage, but also with those who like to relax. They find in this discipline a quick and easy way to free themselves from the stress and tension accumulated in their daily lives. Generally completed in 20 to 30 minutes in European countries. Soku Shindo should be practiced at a regular pace to optimize its effects on metabolism, just like Chinese Reflexology or Royal Thai Foot massage. A monthly session allows you to enter a virtuous cycle of care. A virtuous cycle can be defined as a combination of causes and effects that improves the entire system. In Japanese massage, this translates to allowing the practitioner to regularly treat a specific area. The goal is to restore the balance of Qi throughout the body and improve the overall health of the recipient.
