Shiatsu is an energy based physical therapy work that supports and strengthens the body’s natural ability to balance and heal itself.
Shiatsu is a physical therapy and so much more.
Shiatsu in it’s simplest form is listening to our minds, bodies and emotions as they are in the moment.
It is connecting with nature and understanding our environment. It cannot be underestimated how healing that in itself can be.
Being truely listened to, whether that be spoken or silently through listening touch, it is rare to make time for in our busy lives.
But Shiatsu also has a rich history with many influences and a whole host of tools that can be drawn from making it a rich and versatile art that can aid in our healing and wellbeing.
Working with the extended meridian system of energy paths through us using palm and finger pressure, stretches and points we aim to remind the body how to flow freely and heal.
No two of us are the same. Our work, relationships, surroundings and nature are all part of the picture.
Shiatsu is a Japanese form of bodywork that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body. It’s based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, which believe that energy (called Qi or Ki) flows through the body along specific meridians.
Pressure points: Shiatsu practitioners use their fingers, thumbs, palms, elbows, and knees to apply pressure to these points.
Energy balance: The goal is to restore the balance of Qi flow, which is believed to promote health and well-being.
