Shiatsu is an ancient Oriental healing therapy using the acupuncture meridian system. It treats the person by balancing the flow of Qi/Chi (life energy). It is performed on a mat, on the floor with the therapist applying pressure to the meridians. A lot of meridian stretching is done to restore flexibility and energy flow. Shiatsu treats the whole being, as well as specific ailments.

 

Shiatsu in Japanese literally means “finger pressure” and shiatsu massage uses finger pressure along with pressure from thumbs, feet, and palms in addition to stretching. There are many benefits of Shiatsu massage including eliminating muscle aches, stimulating circulation, and improving the digestive system.

 

Shiatsu massage is performed with your clothes on so be sure to wear comfortable, stretchy clothes!
