Are you looking for a therapy that will help you regain your inner balance? That touches you on the levels of body, mind and soul? Shiatsu relieves tension in the body and stimulates the body's self-regulating powers.

Shiatsu is a recognized method of complementary therapy that is rooted in traditional Far Eastern philosophy and health teachings and views the human being as a unity of body, soul and spirit. Shiatsu originated as an independent form of treatment in Japan and literally means finger pressure.

The central guiding principle of Chinese medicine (TCM) is the concept of life force - ki energy - which is at work in all life. In our body, this energy flows in the so-called meridians, which run through the entire body. These represent energetic connections between organ and vital functions and ensure the interaction between body, soul and spirit. Every illness, every pain, even every disharmony of both a physical and psychological nature is an expression of an imbalance of our body energies in a holistic sense. These disturbances in the flow of energy can be sensed as imbalances in a person's energy balance, often before they manifest themselves as illnesses. In direct contact, these imbalances can be addressed using differentiated techniques. Pressure is applied to areas of tension with the hands, elbows or knees in order to balance them out; weak areas are "nourished/stimulated". Stretches and joint rotations are also performed to stimulate or calm the meridian energy along its entire course.

The special art of Shiatsu is to fully engage with the individual person and their energetic state. Every person is seen and accepted in their uniqueness.
