Q1:What is the biggest difference between Shiatsu Massage and Oil Massage?

** Shiatsu Massage **Acupressure points are applied with the fingers, roots of the palms and elbows, focusing on the deeper muscles and tension points.
** Oil Massage (Essential Oil SPA)**The use of essential oils and smooth strokes emphasizes the overall feeling of relaxation and stress relief.

Simply put:

  • Want to "deal with soreness" → favor acupressure
  • Want to "relax the pressure" → Prefer oil pressure.

Q2: Should I do acupressure or oil pressure on my neck and shoulders?

If you have significant stiffness in your shoulders and neck, or if you have discomfort from sitting for a long time.
Shiatsu massage is usually recommended as the first choice.

Acupressure is more precise in dealing with the deeper muscle groups.
Especially suitable for office workers with long hours of computer work and high commuting pressure.


Q3:Is the force of oil pressure massage very light?

Not necessarily.

Under professional operation, oil pressure massage can also adjust the force.
The difference lies in a more fluid and consistent presentation rather than a single press.
