heck, they don't even use reiatsu.
i was wondering about that. ichigo felt chad riatsu when kyoraku beat him in soul society arc.
SS, HM or any other spiritual plane = Spiritual bodies. Everything entering there is converted into spiritrons and formed into spiritual bodies. Spiritual bodies are not effected by normal biological logic and can survive as long as the person can counteract the injuries with his will and reiatsu. Spiritual power equals reiryoku. Thus Ishida can survive his arm cut off(and still retain the arm) and all sorts of gallons of blood are lost. The only sure way to kill spiritual beings are either incinerating them or cutting off their heads.
Normal world = normal bodies. Normal biological rules apply. Thus Ishida getting some major arteries severed is enough to put him unconscious and in hospital and, just as Jackie said, "you can actually die". Notice how neither Ichigo nor Tsukishima still did not get slashed that much? Thats because physical injuries matter in physical fight.
Also: Just because chad had spiritual power, it does not mean that ge always is using reiatsu. When Ichigo(and if) regains his shinigami powers and if he retains his FB, i am quite sure his FB will still won't use reiatsu(If the fb shroud is only reiatsu imitation, however if its actual reiatsu that is produced by his FB, then ye this does not matter) and his shinigami powers will still use reiatsu.
