Shiatsu is a bodywork therapy that has originated within the Oriental Healing Arts. It incorporates the
theory of acupuncture which proposes that energy, known as "Chi" ( or "Ki") moves through the body
along well defined passageways called meridians. Balance of these energy flows is considered to be
essential for health and well-being.Shiatsu which also utilizes acupressure, or pressure points along with
other manual therapy techniques, has been found exceptionally effective for stress-reduction, reducing
fatigue and alleviating a wide spectrum of symptoms such as: back pain, shoulder & neck problems,
headaches, constipation, cramps, etcÂ…
