What is Shiatsu? Shiatsu is translated from Japanese as finger pressure. Shiatsu is performed by using weight along with palm and finger pressure and various manipulative techniques to adjust the body’s physical structure and the natural flow of inner energies. Shiatsu works on the muscles, circulatory and lymphatic system as well as the organs and viscera via the Qi (Chi or Ki) in the Meridians (the body’s energetic pathways) and acupuncture points. Based on Chinese and Japanese medicine, Shiatsu balances the flow of energy, (Qi), to harmonize the body, mind and spirit.

Oriental Medicine describes the world in terms of energy. All things are considered to be manifestations of the universal energy known as Qi. Scientists have now proven through Quantum Physics that the same dynamic life force of energy throughout the cosmos is also in our bodies in pathways known as meridians. In Asian medicine, all sickness is related to an imbalance of Qi. Harmony of Qi is essential to health. Shiatsu creates a deep, soothing relaxation that releases stress and negative emotional patterns. Regular sessions can create a balance to connect us with ourselves and if one has a particular malady, Shiatsu restores one back to health and well-being.
