Shiatsu is a Japanese non-invasive therapy used to stimulate the body’s self healing ability. The word shiatsu literally translates to “finger pressure.” Shiatsu therapy involves the application of manual pressure to specific areas of the body in order to assess and treat various issues. Shiatsu treatments have an influence on the nervous system, therefore improving organ functions and reducing muscle tensions . Shiatsu uses specific passageways called the 12 meridians, originally believed in Chinese medicine to house and conduct the flow of “Chi” energy into 12 different organs of the body. Shiatsu heals the body indirectly by stimulating the Chi going towards specific organs.
