(Japanese acupressure)<\/em><\/p>\n

Shiatsu is a healing and preventive therapy similar to acupuncture but uses\u00a0fingers and palms\u00a0instead of needles. Shiatsu, one of Japan\u2019s most well-known therapies, stems from traditional Chinese medicine. It is often described as the\u00a0art of mindful touch<\/em>, creating harmony between body and mind.<\/p>\n

Shiatsu stimulates the body’s self-healing abilities, enhancing its natural life force. When\u00a0Ki\u00a0(life energy) flows smoothly through the\u00a0meridians, the person is healthy. During a session, blocked energy is released by pressing along these meridians, relieving physical and emotional discomfort.<\/p>\n

Shiatsu can help with many health issues including\u00a0stress, fatigue, insomnia, metabolic disorders, back and neck pain, headaches, muscle tension, and joint problems. It is not only therapeutic but also preventative. According to Western medicine, shiatsu\u00a0calms the autonomic nervous system,\u00a0reduces stress,\u00a0boosts circulation, and\u00a0enhances organ function and immunity.<\/p>\n

Shiatsu sessions are typically performed on a mat and ideally last\u00a01.5 hours. Wear\u00a0comfortable clothes\u00a0that allow freedom of movement, made of skin-friendly materials. If possible, wear\u00a0toe socks.<\/p>\n

Shiatsu is effective for\u00a0back pain, headaches, sleep disorders, and anxiety.\u00a0Read more<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
