Shiatsu
Shiatsu gently relieves tension, brings about soothing relaxation, helps to alleviate discomfort and mobilizes the body’s self-healing powers at a deeper level.
Shiatsu comes from the Japanese and means “finger pressure”. This form of therapy is based on the assumption that invisible energy channels flow through the body and are connected to all organs.
There are 365 pressure points on these meridians. If the energy is blocked by emotional stress, physical tension and poor nutrition, congestion occurs. Pressure on the meridians and the corresponding pressure points allows the energy to flow again.
The practitioner does not develop the right pressure through muscle strength, but from the center of the body (the hara). The pressure is conveyed through relaxed support, leaning and holding. Pressure is usually applied with the thumbs and fingers, sometimes with the edges of the hands, elbows, knees and soles of the feet.
A Shiatsu treatment in the studio takes about 60 minutes.
