Shiatsu is a traditional hands-on Japanese healing therapy. It can help in a wide range of conditions—from specific injuries to more general symptoms of poor health.
Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing experience and regular Shiatsu sessions help to prevent a build up of stress in our daily lives
The philosophy underlying Shiatsu is that vital energy (known as Ki iin Japanese) flows throughout the body in a series of channels called meridians.
For many different reasons energy can stop flowing freely and this then produces a symptom.. Your Shiatsu practitioner will consider your state of health, the symptoms that you are experiencing and depending on your constitution and general energy levels will use a variety of techniques to improve your energy flow. These may include
gentle holding and pressing on the meridians and where appropriate more dynamic rotations and stretches. As the quality of energy changes, the symptoms associated with a lack of flow will gradually improve. Shiatsu is a therapy that works on the individual as a complete being— not just the physical body but also on an emotional and/or mental level.
