In general, we can say that the points are almost conditional. Their location on the body is described neochen accurately. The discoverer of the Shiatsu method says that this kind of massage is based on the instinct of a person who unconsciously massages and rubs the areas where pain is felt. He systematized and studied all such unconscious impulses and developed Shiatsu therapy on their basis.

Shiatsu point massage technique
Massage should be done by a course that lasts seven to ten days. Then you need to make a little break.
The technique of massage involves rhythmic pressing of parts of the palm or fingers of the points. The pressure of the surface of the first flank of the thumb can be considered the most important and standard method of this method of massage.
The force with which you click on the points of the body, can vary. A specialist can easily touch, and push with maximum force. Sometimes his fingers can tear from the client's skin. Such fluctuations in force must be done five to ten times in a minute.
The masseuse can use the fingers of both hands and impose them on each other. The finger should not slide off the skin.
When there is a facial massage, the expert works with three fingers - anonymous, middle index, and palms pressing on the stomach and eyes. The palm is used for vibrating massage.
It is not necessary to exert pressure on the body with pressure. Press the fingers of your fingers as if you were carrying the entire weight of the body. The force with which the points are affected should depend on the condition and illnesses of the patient. Push should be perpendicular to the skin surface.
When using a massage to treat a particular disease, it is usually clicked on points located near the diseased area. But other points may be involved. For example, when the kidneys are treated, press down on the points located on the legs, and to strengthen the heart - to the points located on the left hand.
The neck of the massage therapist should not work more than five to seven seconds. Pressing should cause something in between the sensations of pain and a pleasant touch.
