The positive aspects of Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese healing method based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. The term “Shiatsu” means “finger pressure” in Japanese and describes the main technique of this form of therapy. By applying targeted pressure to acupuncture points along the body’s energy pathways, known as meridians, shiatsu aims to balance the flow of energy in the body and activate the body’s own healing powers. This can help to alleviate pain, reduce stress and increase general well-being.

In our hectic everyday lives, many people suffer from chronic stress. Shiatsu offers an effective way to counteract this stress. The gentle touch and targeted pressure during a Shiatsu session promote relaxation and can significantly reduce stress levels.
