How Shiatsu works.
Touch
The Touch of Shiatsu is Subtle Yet Powerful
Shiatsu is a whole body healing modality using palms and thumbs to penetrate specific acupressure points along meridian channels to relax, heal and correct the body using pulsing or rhythmic pressure.
Qi [Chi]
The Vital Life Force Throughout Our Body
Shiatsu focuses on meridian channels interconnected throughout our body. Meridian channels have been described as rivers or energy highways that carry qi [chi], the vital life force.
Homeostasis
Fluids and Qi Flowing Through Meridians
When meridian channels are blocked or we are not in balance, our bodies are more susceptible to stress, pain, injury and illness. When meridian channels are in balance, fluids and Qi energy flow creating homeostasis.
