what in the world is shiatsu??
Shiatsu (“she“ shi, meaning finger + “ott-sue” atsu, meaning pressure) is a form of bodywork developed in Japan. Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, Shiatsu utilizes acupressure points & meridians to ease aches and calm your mind. Shiatsu rhythmically kneads, rocks, presses and stretches your body, opening its energy channels, relaxing tight muscles and joints, helping you feel better.
Shiatsu can be used for specific conditions such as headaches, digestion problems, and chronic pain, as well as for health maintenance, stress reduction and relaxation. A session is usually about an hour long, with 5-15 minutes of intake and 55-60 minutes of hands-on work. You remain fully-clothed and rest comfortably on a Shiatsu mat or table.
Shiatsu is calm and relaxing, but with vibrant effects! The body becomes more balanced and healing takes place naturally. You may leave the session feeling more relaxed than ever, but will also feel energized, often for days after the session.
