Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the main difference between Shiatsu and Lomi Lomi massage?
The main difference lies in the technique and clothing. Shiatsu is a Japanese therapy performed fully clothed without oils, focusing on deep, static finger pressure along body meridians. Lomi Lomi is a Hawaiian oil massage using long, fluid, wave-like forearm strokes to promote deep relaxation and emotional release.
What should I wear for a Shiatsu massage session in Cork?
For a Shiatsu session, you should wear loose, comfortable clothing, preferably made of natural fabrics like cotton (e.g., a T-shirt and tracksuits or leggings). No massage oils are used during this treatment.
How does a Holistic Massage help with chronic stress and fatigue?
Holistic Massage addresses the whole person by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system. It lowers stress hormones, improves lymphatic circulation to flush out toxins, increases physical energy, and creates a deeply relaxing environment to clear mental anxiety.
What is the ‘Ha Breath’ in Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage?
The ‘Ha Breath’ is a traditional Hawaiian breathwork technique used to facilitate energy flow (Mana) and deep relaxation. Synchronising your breath with the massage rhythmic strokes helps release emotional blocks and oxygenate the body.
