Shiatsu
SHIATSU means “ finger pressure ”. A unique healing art which originated in Japan, this form of bodywork therapy is based on the stimulation of the body’s vital energy flow known as Ki or Chi.
This is achieved via the network of energy channels or meridians in the body. A Shiatsu therapist applies 90 degree, relaxed body weight pressure with the use of their fingers, thumbs, palms, elbows & sometimes knees or feet on the body. Gentle supported stretches are also incorporated to improve flexibility and energy flow.
Shiatsu massage will induce a deep sense of relaxation, increase circulation and restore and balance the flow of energy into your internal organs. This will help to promote feelings of well-being and improve your overall health.
The philosophy behind shiatsu massage is based on the Oriental Medical Theory, reflecting Traditional Chinese Medicine principles. The focus is on the body’s energetic system and how it strongly relates to the function of our internal organs, emotions, psychological state and therefore our physical and spiritual being.
Shiatsu can be very effective in helping people to gain an awareness for mind-body connection which is an extremely important process towards greater health, lifestyle balance and happiness.
Treatment information: Shiatsu massage is performed on a comfortable Futon on the floor. Loose cotton, comfortable clothing should be worn. Massage is oil free.
