Shiatsu is a form of Japanese bodywork which stimulates the body’s natural healing ability and is a deeply relaxing experience. The philosophy underlying shiatsu is that vital energy (ki in Japanese) flows through the body in a series of channels called meridians. When ki stops flowing freely it produces a symptom and shiatsu helps to rebalance and improve the quality of ki through touch, increasing feelings of wellbeing. Shiatsu is a therapy which treats each individual uniquely and holistically both on the physical and mental/emotional levels. The treatment usually takes place on a futon and the client remains fully clothed. To have shiatsu you should wear comfortable clothing such as joggers or leggings, a warm long sleeve top, and socks. The practitioner considers your state of health according to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine with shiatsu theory and then uses a variety of appropriate techniques including pressure along the meridians and at specific points, along with joint rotations and muscle stretches.
