Shiatsu:
Shiatsui is a form of physical therapy developed first in Japan
based on traditional Chinese medical theory and various Japanese
massage techniques. In a shiatsu treatment the practitioner uses
direct pressure with hands and fingers on the client's body.
The practitioner works along energy channels (meridians) and on
points along those channels (acu-points or tsubo) to stimulate the
flow of energy (ki).
The primary focus in treatment is to establish an harmonious flow
of energy through the meridians. The particular insight of eastern
medical practice is in its understanding of energy and how energy is
a dynamic force in the body. Shiatsu addresses all levels of the
person (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual). The treatment is
most often experienced as deeply relaxing and practitioners can work
with conditions of both acute and chronic natures.
