Shiatsu is a holistic complementary therapy which aims to treat the whole person. Many people enjoy the restorative effects of shiatsu to support their health and well-being, to achieve deep relaxation and let go of the stresses of modern living.
Shiatsu is a form of therapeutic bodywork, rooted in ancient oriental traditions as well as on current developments in our understanding of the human energy body. The word 'shiatsu' is Japanese and means “finger pressure”. The practitioner applies pressure to designated areas of the body, using the palms, thumbs and fingers, as well as knees, elbows and feet. Gentle stretches, holding and supportive techniques are also used. Shiatsu is received fully clothed.
Through the use of touch along channels of energy called meridians, the flow of ‘Ki’ (vitality or energy) is enhanced and rebalanced. Shiatsu is based on the same principles of energy medicine as acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. When the flow of Ki is balanced we experience a calmer mind and a relaxed body, and our body's own capacity for self-healing is enhanced.
Shiatsu is a ancient healing art perfectly suited to the challenges of the 21st century, that will contribute to your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.
