Shiatsu is an energy and structural based therapy that originated within the Asian bodywork

therapy. It incorporates the theory of acupuncture which proposes that energy, Qi, moves through the body along well-defined passageways called meridians.

Shiatsu means finger pressure, it involves applying pressure along the Meridians , what is exceptionally

effective to balance the body’s energy system and repair physical alignment by alleviating a

wide spectrum of symptoms. The modality uses the body’s own energies to create a balance in these energy flows which are considered to be essential for health and well-being. Every treatment is individually adjusted to

the client. Most people find Shiatsu a deeply relaxing experience. Sometimes more physical

work is applied. Stretches and purely ‘energetic’ work can be used as well.

Shiatsu works by treating the whole body system to keep a person healthy, helping to forestall

problems before they arise, and to influence the prevailing disharmony that may have caused

the unwanted symptom. It treats the cause and symptoms at the same time. Symptomatic

problems can often have other deeper disharmonies.
