Shiatsu massage is a form of natural healing. Touch is the essence of Shiatsu. It is a proven method of restoring and maintaining health by adjusting and balancing the body's primary communication system. Shiatsu affects the movement of energy (known as Ki, Chi, Chee, Qui) that circulates within well defined passageways or meridians. In Shiatsu massage one applies various strengths of pressure along these meridians and other specific points of the body to balance the energy as it flows to the organs, glands, muscles, nerves and blood. Shiatsu produces a heightened sense of well-being in body, mind and spirit.
