Shiatsu (pronounced Shee-at-soo) is a Japanese holistic therapy influenced by the Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is based on theories of Acupuncture but whilst Acupuncture uses needles, Shiatsu uses thumb pressure to achieve a complete harmony between the mind and body.
The spirit of Shiatsu is communicated via a non-intrusive touch. It is the quality of touch that allows one to receive care and warmth by invoking the body’s natural healing responses. The focus of the touch is directed along energy channels called meridians and the object of the therapy is to restore or rebalance the Qi (the life force energy) found within the meridian system of the body.
As a holistic form of treatment, Shiatsu supports the self-healing responses. It focuses on the whole person improving the body-mind-spirit well being.
