Shiatsu & Massage
Shiatsu & MassageShiatsu is a Japanese word from the root words shi (fingers) and atsu (force). Shiatsu is an functional system of massage which, like acupuncture, seeks to let go and make easy the flow of vital life energy, called as Qi (ki in Japanese, chi in Chinese), within the body. Shiatsu includes various massage techniques like pressing, rotating, sweeping, and patting. More than methods, however, shiatsu has been described as a dance of two, a touch communication among practitioner and client, grounded in the traditional Chinese medicine theory of balance. Shiatsu involves applying pressure to particular points or parts on the body in order to preserve physical and mental well being, cure disease, or ease discomfort. |
