Shiatsu is a Japanese form of remedial massage. As part of East Asian medicine, it is used to support health, wellbeing and restore harmony, by activating the circulation of Blood, Body fluids and Energy (Qi/Ki/Chi) throughout the body.
In clinical practice, Shiatsu recognises the whole person, all aspects of life, the body, lifestyle, mental, emotional and spiritual as co-ordinated and interconnected. Shiatsu assesses and diagnoses with aid of tongue, pulse, palpation of abdomen and acupuncture channels using the hands, elbows, knees, feet and thumbs instead of needles.
The aim is to identify the cause of imbalance, alleviate the presenting problem and prevent further decline through education.
Shiatsu affects the internal organs, muscles and joints with a profound effect on posture.
