What is shiatsu?

According to the TCM, there is a hidden and invisible world inside our bodies, which runs on energy.

The energy organizes itself and powers the brain and heart. It moves our muscles and bowels and pulses within each nerve. It lies delicately balanced across the membranes of the liver, spleen, and kidney, lubricating their functions and driving their mechanisms. It moves in channels in the body and concentrates in nodes: Tsubos. Electricity is the energy of our lives. When it goes wrong it can cause chaos. It can rebel, or lie silent and stagnant.

Trying to make sense of the human body without understanding this primal energy, and the huge intelligence that drives it, would be like looking inside an unplugged computer and believing you can decipher it.

Shiatsu opens that Universe to you, bringing the world of Chinese medicine into the 21st century and a window into the mysterious world of qi (pronounced ‘chi’) that has governed acupuncture practice for millennia.

It is a Japanese therapeutic massage. Shares the basic theoretical and philosophical knowledge with acupuncture TCM but benefits from contact. A respectful and sensitive contact that can have profound effects on the person’s health.

The combination of movements, pressures and stretches achieves a state of calm and deep relaxation.

On a physical level, shiatsu relaxes and oxygenates the muscles. It also stimulates blood circulation and the secretion of endorphins.

At the energy level, it stimulates the movement of vital energy that runs through our body.

Shiatsu is especially suitable for people suffering from nervous system problems: stress, anxiety, insomnia…

Very beneficial during pregnancy to prevent or treat discomfort and promote a natural birth.  Shiatsu is a good companion during pregnancy, relaxes the lower back, improves circulation. After 40 weeks it induces natural childbirth.
