What is Shiatsu?

A Japanese systems of finger-pressure massage which treat special points along acupuncture meridians - the invisible channels of energy flow in the body. Blocked energy along these meridians can cause discomfort and disease, so the aim is to release the blocks and re-balance the energy flow.

The gentle pressure of Shiatsu can be deeply effective because it activates energy. Energy is the messenger within the body. Shiatsu does not treat symptoms, but seeks the removal of their source. It is known as a Yang process (balancing from outside to inside) where by contrast, nutrition & herbology are more of Yin processes (from the inside out).

I use combination therapy and use this technique as part of my Holistic Intuitive massage Sessions.
