What Is Shiatsu?

“The theory behind diagnosis and treatment in Shiatsu relate directly to the ancient philosophical concepts regarding the nature of existence, which have formed the basis for science, art, politics and religion in China for over two thousand years. The cycles of the seasons, the influence of the Heavenly bodies on the Earth, and ultimately the intricate relationship between all natural events and their influence on human life within the human body and mind were observed and studied.” -http://www.shiatsuplace.net

Shiatsu is a form of dynamic bodywork.
The Japanese word ‘Shiatsu’ means finger pressure.
It is has its roots based in traditional Chinese medicine and is used to promote health and well-being by reinforcing or re-establishing the natural harmony of the body.
Using the theory of Qi, Shiatsu brings an holistic view to healing the Body, Mind and Spirit.
