SHIATSU

Shiatsu is an old, traditional, Japanese healing method. Shiatsu means finger pressure. But unlike the massages of the West, where kneading and friction is used, in shiatsu pressure and stretching is the key. The shiatsu practitioner uses palms, fingers, thumbs, knuckles, elbows, knees and the feet, to work on the body´s acupuncture points, along what they consider the body´s meridians or energy channels. It´s a form of touch communication, and is a safe and effective preventive medicine. It helps to balance a person´s energy flow, and strengthen the vital organs. Shiatsu works on the whole being, from the physical to the spiritual, so during and after the treatment a patient may experience a variety of reactions-crying, laughing, joy, stillness. These reactions are a sign that the body is breaking through old energy patterns.
