Shiatsu is a form of therapeutic bodywork from Japan. It uses kneading, pressing, soothing, tapping, and stretching techniques and is performed without oils through light, comfortable clothing. Shiatsu is a non-invasive therapy that may help reduce stress and contribute to overall wellbeing. Shiatsu has preventative and remedial effects.

 

Shiatsu can be used in the treatment of a wide range of internal, musculoskeletal, and emotional conditions. It is thought to reduce muscle stiffness, stimulate the skin, aid digestion, and influence the nervous system.

 

Shiatsu is used to treat a wide range of chronic conditions, such as headaches, PMS, digestive disorders, fatigue, insomnia, fibromyalgia, stress, anxiety, musculoskeletal pain and joint pain.

 

The effect may be stimulating and invigorating or calming and sedative, depending on the goal of the session.
