1. About Shiatsu massage

ShiatsuisaformofbodymassagewhichwasoriginallydevelopedinJapanaround100yearsago.Itis

based on ideas anchored in traditional Chinese medicine, in particular the meridian system, i.e. the paths in

thehumanbodyalongwhichenergyisconveyed.

The aim of any Shiatsu massage is to promote the physical, emotional and mental wellbeing of the person

beingtreated.Todothis,energyblocksandbottlenecksinthemeridiansneedtobedissolvedandtheself-

regulating ability of the body needs to be stimulated.

Shiatsutherapistsachievethisbyexercisingpressureinflowingmovementsalongthemeridians.Although

Shiatsu can be literally translated as “finger pressure”, practitioners also use the heels of their hands, their

elbows and knees as well as their fingers. In the process, the therapist will use his or her full body weight in

order to generate the required pressure.
