Shiatsu, which means “finger pressure” in English, is an integrated approach to treatment originating from Japan.
If a patient is experiencing tenseness or pain in the body, the therapist applies pressure along the energy channels (the so-called “meridians”) with hands, thumbs, elbows and knees. The patient can remain dressed in free-hanging clothes without this impacting the effectiveness of the pressure point massage.
The effect: Reduced pain in the spine, throughout the entire body, the head, the arms and the legs, as well as a feeling of wellbeing and serenity.
