Shiatsu is a Japanese therapy based on Traditional Chinese Medicine. Literally it means "finger pressure".
The idea underlying Shiatsu is that energy -known as Ki in Japanese - flows in the body through a series of paths called meridians. At times, for one reason or another, Ki gets out of balance and stops moving smoothly. A dis-ease then appears. It can be just a vague feeling of discomfort or a diagnosed illness. The aim of a Shiatsu treatment is to rebalance the flow of energy so that it flows smoothly again. As the flow of Ki in the body improves, so does the condition. Shiatsu uses a variety of techniques to rebalance your energy flow. Shiatsu is a therapy that works on the individual as a complete being - on the physical as well as on the emotional and mental level.
