WHAT IS SHIATSU
When the therapist applies the pressure with the fingers, he receives information about the state of the skin, the muscles, the temperature of the area, etc., and thus determines the treatment.
It is a therapy recognized by the Ministry of Health of Japan and has more than 100 years of history. Shiatsu arises in Japan in a culture that fuses Traditional Chinese Medicine (used for a thousand years) and the most recent Western medicine installed in Japanese universities.
Therefore Shiatsu finds its place taking into account the knowledge of Western medicine, but with a vision of the energy and meridians of acupuncture, the theory of vital points or tsubos as well as many other ancestral disciplines of Japanese culture.
Oriental natural medicine tries to understand the person as a whole, in a personal and exclusive way, including in the study of the body, mind, spirit, environment, work, family, the season, the local weather, and many other parameters that configure a certain state for a specific person, at the time and place of therapy, which changes in different treatment sessions.
​
Shiatsu is a Japanese massage. Literally, it is translated as "finger pressure". This gentle and pleasant pressure, administered rhythmically with the thumbs on certain points of the body, is combined with different techniques of balancing, kneading, and stretching, allowing to restore the balance and harmony of the different systems: nervous, muscular, circulatory or lymphatic. Thus, the vitality, and the well-being of body and mind is restored.
