Cancers increase all over the world. The person of 18 million suffered from a cancer throughout the world in 2018 and the person of 9.6 million died of a cancer. And they increase year by year. This is the serious situation for us.
Then, can we contribute to cancer treatment by shiatsu? For example, if a doctor has told to you that your family suffered from a cancer, what would you do?
We have it as follows, when dealing with a cancer by shiatsu.
First, the purpose of that treatment:
1. Improvement of the blood circulation
2. Improvement of the immunity
At first we judge the physical condition of the patient. We judge it with "Jitsu-sho", if it is good. Otherwise we judge it with "Kyo-sho". We must judge it first to decide the level of shiatsu pressure. We understand the area of not pressing points next. It is because the area with cancer is easy to bleed. The time of treatment should be about one hour. If we do shiatsu to the patient of "Kyo-sho" more than one hour, it may be tired. The position of a patient should be the posture he/she can be relaxed. The side posture is better if possible.
Now let's explain the main point of shiatsu treatment.
The grasping shiatsu at a neck makes parasympathetic nerve dominant and a patient relax. Give a presssure slowly and gently here, but should press gently if "Kyo-sho".
The shoulder and the upper back are the junction of the body,the arm and the neck, and most important point on the blood circulation. You may give a pressure here strongly if it's "Jitsu -sho".
Shiatsu along the arm makes strain of the nerve relax. So You should apply shiatsu slowly on it.
Shiatsu along the spine makes the function of nerve of the whole body fixed. The strong pressure is improper for the patient. Apply shiatsu that he/she feels comfortable.
Shiatsu on the leg is effective against the blood circulation of the lower body.
You do not have any problem with normal pressure, as it is far from the affected part of cancer here.
Finally, make him/her lay face up and apply the head shiatsu. This part is the most effective point to make the nerve and feeling relax. It is no problem even strong pressure, but apply the shiatsu last. Those shiatsu treatment makes the patient relax and the blood circulation improved.
We are happy if we serve as a reference.
