Shiatsu

What is Shiatsu?

Shiatsu is a traditional hands-on Japanese healing art that can help in a wide range of conditions. It is a deeply relaxing experience and regular sessions help to prevent the build-up of stress in our daily lives. Furthermore, it is considered a complete therapy for many physical afflictions and chronic diseases, always starting off with an individual diagnosis.

Shiatsu as a popular form of bodywork involves intuition, creativity as well as vast knowledge and several years of trained skill. This Japanese healing art is uniquely flexible, capable of applying the depth of Rolfing and the subtlety of cranial osteopathy as well as mobilization and release techniques, etc. 

I was first trained on a Namikoshi base and then did an intensive four years' Shiatsu training based on Shizuto Masunaga's and Pauline Sasaki's teachings in Austria where Shiatsu is a recognized trade.

What to expect in a treatment:

  • The treated person lies dressed on a soft mat.
  • Smooth, fluid movements with fingers, elbows, knees etc. all over the entire body stimulate the flow of energy.
  • The pressure is variably adjusted to the client's needs.
  • The attentive touch occurs especially along major energy pathways (meridians) and acupuncture points - but always led by the body's signals.  
  • In listening, accepting and offering space to the client's presence the healing touch can unfold.

What are the effects of the treatment? 

  • The attentive touch soothingly relaxes and invigorates healing.
  • The life force that flows through subtle channels is stimulated and harmonized.
  • The impulses support the self-healing powers of the body, nourish and promote inner growth.
  • Body and self-awareness increase automatically.

Especially recommended for the following afflictions (also if chronic):
Back, neck, shoulder and joint pains, headaches, migraines, digestive problems, sleeping disorders, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, post-stroke, menstrual problems, pregnancy and after giving birth, burn-out, tension.

But many come simply to recharge and to enjoy more awareness :-).
