This word in Japanese means simply “finger pressure”, yet Shiatsu is a sophisticated Healing Art that has evolved from the same ancient system as Acupuncture. Instead of inserting needles into points, we use pressure from our thumbs, palms, and sometimes elbows and knees along the 12 meridians or channels – lines of energy or life force - that flow through the body. Our goal is to create a more balanced distribution of the different aspects of life force that flow through these meridians, helping the body, mind & spirit to integrate.
