What is Shiatsu?

head-shiatsu2.jpgShiatsu is a type of healing touch treatment, closely related to Chinese Traditional Medicine, Acupuncture, and Anma.

This technique supports the belief that the energy or Qi must flow freely in the body in order to acheive well-being and mantain good health. Any internal or external factors, which interrupt that flow, could result in many different types of complaints.
Shiatsu is a practical and convenient way of treatment. it can be delevered in any place or situation, as an on site treatment in offices or hospitals. Being a gentle form of therapy, elderly and children particularly welcome Shiatsu.

What does Shiatsu involve?

Shiatsu stimulates and re-balance the flow of Qi. The work proceeds over the meridians (energy channels) and acupoints (energy vortexes) by applying light fingertip pressure, palming or gentle rotation and stretching techniques.

Shiatsu is performed through clothing, therefore for your comfort, wearing loose clothing is recommended. For certain conditions, if necessary I may use heat therapy with  Moxa (Artemisia Vulgaris) and/or cupping  with a partial skin exposure.

What Shiatsu can be used for?
