SHIATSU
Shiatsu uses the fingers, thumbs & palms to put pressure on different areas of the body to help heal ailments & correct imbalances in the body. Pressure applied to points on the body promotes energy flow & corrects disharmonies throughout the patient's body.
On top of being a relaxing experience, Shiatsu helps relieve stress, treat pain & illness. Like acupuncture & Tui Na, Shiatsu is based on the holistic system of traditional Chinese medicine, where illness is thought to result from imbalances in the body's natural flow of energy, or Qi.
