What is Shiatsu?
Shiatsu is a form of massage therapy of Japanese origin which is based on the existence of the vital energy "KI" that flows within all living beings. It helps to rebalance energy and brings back well-being in order to maintain and improve the state of health.
The Japanese term shiatsu is composed of "shi" (fingers) e "atsu" (pressure), so it literally means “pressure with the fingers”. It is a treatment in which the thumbs and palms of the hands are used to exert pressure on certain points or areas of the body, with the aim at correcting disorders in our body.
With the pressure exerted on the entire body, shiatsu helps to rebalance the organism from both a functional and physiological as well as from energetic point of view. Furthermore, it helps to recover one's strength if weakened.
