Shiatsu is a non-invasive therapy that may help reduce stress and contribute to overall wellbeing. Proponents believe that it has both preventative and remedial effects.
Shiatsu can be used in the treatment of a wide range of internal, musculoskeletal, and emotional conditions. It is thought to reduce muscle stiffness, stimulate the skin, aid digestion, and influence the nervous system. Shiatsu is used to treat a wide range of chronic conditions, such as headaches, PMS, digestive disorders, fatigue, insomnia, fibromyalgia, stress, anxiety, and muskuloskeletal pain, including low back, neck, and joint pain.
The effect may be stimulating and invigorating or calming and sedative, depending on the goal of the session.
Shiatsu is an acupressure technique which was developed in Japan around 1920 from a
traditional massage method called Anma.
I am offering Zen Shiatsu according to the Shizuto Masunaga school. Masunaga extended
the previously known meridian system and combined his studies of western psychology and
Chinese medicine with his Shiatsu knowledge.
Through gentle pressure on the meridians (energy channels), mobilizing, stretching and rotation
of the joints, the "Ki" (energetic expression of our life force) is retuned, distributed and harmonised.
Blockages in energy flow, which manifest themselves as pain, tension or a psychological feeling of
ill ease, will be released through the treatment.
Shiatsu gives your body space for self-recognition. You will feel how your breathing deepens,
the body relaxes and your thoughts slowly come to rest.
As soon as the "Ki" flows again, you'll feel well-balanced and focused.
