Shiatsu

Relaxation Shiatsu

“Well-being without medication”

Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese therapy founded by the Master Tokujiro Namikoshi. Shiatsu is a healing art, also called a ‘miracle therapy’ that we borrow from Japan.

Shiatsu means “finger pressure.” It is a style of bodywork where I will use finger pressure and work on the meridian lines (network of energy channels) and tsubo (Japanese for energy points), using gentle but firm techniques such as rocking movements, rotating, kneading and stretching of the joints and limbs in order to release tension, bring balance to the body and restore the healthy flow of  the ‘ki’ (energy).

Shiatsu is a therapy endorsed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Japan.

I have been trained at the International Japanese Shiatsu School in Madrid. I also had the great opportunity to get a Shiatsu treatment myself at the Namikoshi clinic in Tokyo a few years ago.

Shiatsu is beneficial for:

> insomnia
> headache and migraine
> physical pain
> digestive disorders
> muscle pain
> stress & anxiety
> PMS
> stiff joints and limbs

Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing experience which gives effective results and has no side effects. It is a treatment suitable for all ages.

In the past years, people have become more open to alternative ways of healing.

A session lasts 60 minutes and is traditionally done on a ‘futon’, and in prone position; the entire back (head to feet) will be treated. Specific health complaints, disruptions or imbalances might not always disappear, but it will definitely reduce and alleviate the pain, resulting in an improved mental and physical balance.

Once the session is finished, time will be given to you to enjoy some Japanese tea and pastry and to slowly come back back to reality.

Having a Shiatsu session on a regular basis will help to prevent accumulation of stress as well as mental or physical obstacles that can cause health issues. Shiatsu contributes to overall health and wellbeing. When we feel comfortable in our bodies, we will have a higher mental tranquility.

Taking care of your body is taking care of your soul, and vice versa.
