It roots date back to Traditional Chinese Medicine, developed in the East 1000’s of years ago, and uses the traditional 5 elements system. In the Japanese language, “Shiatsu” literally means “finger pressure”, although it the the relational quality of the touch that has been developed for treatments.
Shiatsu uses touch in a conversational way with the receiver (client), to work holistically with the body ensuring that the receiver gets what they need from the treatment.
It is a powerful, non-invasive, form of healing that works intuitively with the body.
It incorporates ‘listening’ to both the verbal and non-verbal, and then responding with the use of stretches, holding, manipulation to achieve what is required by the receiver. The treatment takes place on a futon mat on the floor. The receiver remains clothed and it is recommended they wear loose clothing such as jogging bottoms and comfortable top.
