Acupressure shiatsu is a specific
style of Asian Bodywork Therapy which can be thought of as
acupuncture without the needles. The Japanese word shiatsu
means "finger pressure" and is based on the principles of
traditional Chinese medicine. Fingers, palms, knees,
elbows and feet are used to apply firm but gentle pressure
to specific points on the body's energy pathways
(meridians) to improve the flow of energy or "qi" and
balance the body, mind and spirit.The power of touch through this
beautifully simple, intuitive and ancient system of
healing is an effective, non-invasive way to achieve
physical, emotional and spiritual health and peace.
