SHIATSU
DESCRIPTION
The Shiatsu Practitioner
exerts firm rhythmic pressure to the body
using thumbs or fingers on a sequence of
points designed to awaken the meridians.
Shiatsu incorporates creative use of the
whole body and includes stretching and
leverage. Tension is viewed as a
stagnation of the bodily flows along the
nerves, meridians, lymphatic ducts and
blood vessels. Lack of exercise, poor
diet, alcohol, drugs and stress all
contribute significantly to this
stagnation. These physical tensions or
blocked emotions lock the homeostatic
mechanism of the body, restricting proper
functioning. Blockages or distortions can
cause either an overflow of energy,
‘Jitsu’ (excess) or an underactive
condition ‘Kyo’ (empty). The pressure
points or ’tsubos’ are reflections of the
internal functioning of the body systems,
and are used for diagnostic as well as
treatment purposes. Treatment focuses not
only on relieving pain and discomfort but
also on responding to tensions and
toxicities in the body before they
develop into
illnesses.
