Shiatsu is a holistic touch therapy with its roots in traditional Chinese medicine, yet very much relevant to us here and now because it has been continuously developed in the light of increasing knowledge of physiology and Western medicine.

The benefits of Shiatsu are being recognised more and more by conventional health authorities all over the world. It is particularly good for chronic conditions such as back pain, headaches, joint pain, menstrual problems, digestive problems, asthma, insomnia, stress or depression.

The Shiatsu practitioner works with the receiver to unblock the energy, using a variety of techniques including stretching, rotation of limbs, holding, and applying pressure with fingers, palms, elbows, knees and feet on the meridians. (The word Shiatsu means "finger pressure").
