Shiatsu

The Japanese word shiatsu means finger pressure. In shiatsu, the fingers, thumbs, elbows, knees, and hands are all used to stimulate or sedate the energy flowing through the body to promote health and healing.

Shiatsu helps to maintain overall health and encourages people to listen more keenly to what the body is saying. The body has a great ability to self-heal, but sometimes it needs assistance to remove the objects getting in the way of the healing process. Shiatsu is one technique that can help to remove these blockages.

Shiatsu can specifically help the following:
• arthritic conditions
• backaches
• emotional difficulties
• headaches/migraines
• insomnia
• irritable bowel syndrome
• constipation and diarrhea
• menstrual problems
• muscular tensions
• reproductive problems
• asthma, bronchitis
• chest infections
• sinusitis • stress-related disorders

Healing is not something that just sometimes "happens" It is a continuous movement toward harmony, balance and wholeness.
