Shiatsu

Picture
Shiatsu is a form of therapeutic bodywork from Japan, based on Chinese Medicine. The Practitioner uses different techniques such as kneading, pressing, tapping, and stretching. 

Whats is Shiatsu good For?
It is a relaxing form of massage, so it can help reduce daily stress and contribute to overall well being. It can also address specific orthopedic problems such as frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, knee pain, strained muscles, etc. Shiatsu can also help in several emotional situations, insomnia, digestive disorders, PMS, etc. What happens in a Shiatsu session? At the beginning of the session, the therapist performs a short diagnosis to determine the patterns of imbalance that may be present. It is important to assess the "state of the Qi" in order for the therapist to give the most effective therapeutic session. Even if the Shiatsu is just for relaxation and fun, the therapist can still address any imbalance they encounter. How Often Should I Get Shiatsu? A regular maintenance program of Shiatsu is an excellent way to overcome conditions such as insomnia, immunity, PMS, Lumbego (Lower Back Pain), shoulder pain, digestive issues, etc. Shiatsu is also a great way to maintain wellness and improve vitality!
