Rockin’ it With Kenbiki
Those of you who have had a massage with me know that I begin most of my sessions with a rhythmic rocking of the back and hips, followed by compression along the spine and down the body. What you probably don’t know is that this is a Japanese centering technique which often precedes a Shiatsu treatment. This rocking and pressing combo is called Kenbiki, which according to some, means “rhythmic, dynamic hand”.
