Shiatsu is an ancient form of Japanese massage therapy that brings the body into balance. It is deeply relaxing and soothing to the individual and works to promote healing physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It is different from other forms of massage therapy in that it works with the meridians, which are pathways of energy that flow through the body. Each meridian corresponds to a different organ and blocks in the flow of these meridians is what causes stress, tension, or illness.
 

In a Shiatsu session deep pressure is applied along specific meridians to remove blockages. As the blockages within the meridians are released, the body’s natural ability to heal itself is awakened.
