Shiatsu Therapy is a Japanese style of bodywork and it is a finger-pressure technique utilizing traditional acupuncture points on the body meridians line.

Similar to acupressure, shiatsu concentrates on unblocking the flow of life energy and restoring balance in the meridians and organs in order to promote self-healing. The benefits of this treatment is both energizing and relaxing, it may also include pain relief and a strengthening of the body's resistance to disease and disorder.

Conditions That Benefit from Shiatsu Treatment

Back Problems: Shiatsu reduces the back pain by applying pressure on the specific points to loosen the stiffness and to retain the elasticity in the muscles.

Sinus Headaches: Shiatsu massage releases the pressure and congestion in the sinus cavities. The massage drains the mucus, which provides relief in sinus-related headaches. The pressure is also applied on the meridian points in the nose, hand and eye socket to relieve sinus congestion.

Insomnia/Sleep Disorders: Shiatsu encourages regular and healthy sleep patterns by working on the PS (parasympathetic system). The system regulates the adrenaline in the blood. The massage relaxes the system and decreases the sympatho-adrenal response. The effect calms the nerves and induces proper sleep.

Constipation Relief: Shiatsu massage employs mild pressure on the specific points on the fingers, hands, elbow and ribs to remove the disruptions and ease the digestive process.
