About Shiatsu

 

Although shiatsu has evolved out of centuries of bodywork, Japan is essentially the birthplace of shiatsu as it is known today. Many early Japanese shiatsu practitioners developed their own style and some, such as Tokujiro

Namikoshi and Shizuto Masunaga, founded schools in Japan that helped establish shiatsu as a therapy in its own right. Today, there are many different styles of shiatsu practiced and therapists all around the world are constantly evolving new approaches to treatment. Some approaches concentrate on the stimulation of 'acupressure (acupuncture) points', while some emphasise more general work on the body or on the energy channels to influence the flow of ki within them. Other forms highlight diagnostic systems, yet all of these different approaches inherently come from the same underlying theoretical approach.

​

We hold tension and tightness in our body. Shiatsu with its links to Traditional Chinese Medicine helps me recognize and unlock these blockages to create energy flow through your body. These blockages have links to the energy flow to the organs. Altering this energy will bring balance to your internal environment. 

​

With my understanding of posture through Yoga it is my aim to improve your posture and free up the energy flow through your body.
