Shiatsu,
Japanese ‘finger pressure’ therapy is a natural healing discipline springing
from the same ancient Oriental principles as Acupuncture. Like Acupuncture, Shiatsu works
by stimulating the body’s vital energy flow (known as ‘Ki’ in Japanese) in
order to promote good health. However, in
Shiatsu, the practitioner uses thumbs and fingers, elbows and even knees and feet to apply
pressure and stretching to the energy lines, known as ‘ meridians’. |
| what
style/s of shiatsu do you teach? |
Zen-Masunaga,
Five Elements, Traditional Chinese Medicine |
