more about shiatsu

Shiatsu is a Japanese bodywork which incorporates the Traditional Chinese principles of the Five Elements, chi (life force), and yin and yang allowing the practitioner to diagnose and tailor each treatment to the individual’s needs. A fundamental belief in the Chinese approach to health is that chi governs our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being, and that these are not separate aspects but are instead interconnected. The chi flows through the body in a number of channels called meridians and when the chi is blocked or imbalanced this causes symptoms of ill health.
