Shiatsu is a Japanese body-oriented form of therapy that uses pressure applied to specific points on the body to improve blood circulation and flow of energy (ki) throughout the body. The effect of touch can promote relaxation, allowing the own healing capacity of the body to start. The key to unlocking the power of Shiatsu is to be mindful of your body and your breath as the pressure is being performed. Take the time to tune into your body and notice how it responds to the treatment. This will help you gain a greater understanding of your inner communication.
“Shiatsu is a way of life. Through its practice, one can gain insight into the deeper aspects of being and develop a greater connection with oneself and the world.” -Hiroshi Motoyama
