What is Shiatsu?

Shiatsu is a form of healing through touch, which has its origins thousands of years ago in the traditional medicine of China and Japan and was more recently formalised to include an understanding of the body from a Western perspective. It is now quite widely practised internationally.

The receiver is supported to become more aware of their body/mind as an integrated whole, becoming aware of areas of tension or weakness on either a physical or emotional level. Through this process healing occurs from the inside.

Shiatsu shares much of its background theory with acupuncture. Like acupuncture, Shiatsu stimulates the body’s vital energy (known as Ki in Japanese or Qi in Chinese).

Instead of needles, comfortable pressure is applied to various parts of the body and stretches, rocking movements and other techniques  are used. Shiatsu is calm and relaxing in nature, yet dynamic in effect; the body begins to re-adjust itself and healing takes place.

Who can benefit from Shiatsu?

Since Shiatsu is working with the whole person, rather than simply focusing on conditions, most people, ill or healthy, and of all ages from babies to the elderly can potentially benefit from it.

shiatsu is extremely useful in enhancing health and vitality and many people use it as part of a stress management or preventative health care program. Shiatsu is also excellent if you are feeling unwell but are suffering from no known medical condition.

You do not have to be sick to benefit from Shiatsu, nor is it necessary to have a name for your condition.

In Japan, Shiatsu is considered to be a medical treatment. People come to Shiatsu for all kinds of reasons, not just for relaxation and they may come with specific ailments ranging from the acute to more chronic.
