Shiatsu is a Japanese body therapy that will help aid the flow of the internal energy (called Qi) to move more freely and bring balance back into the system.
It uses stretching and gentle manipulative techniques to adjust the bodyâs physical structure, as well as stimulating specific acupuncture point and energy channels. This is done by applying pressure to the body with the palms, fingers, elbows and knees in a continuous rhythmic sequence.
Shiatsu can help with:
- Stress related issues (insomnia, anxiety & tensions, headache)
- To move stagnations and blockages in the bodys energy channels
- Increase your own body awareness
- Hormonal imbalances (pre,- & post natal and during pregnancy)
- Digestive issues
- Breathing and relaxation
