What happens in treatment and how is shiatsu performed?
During a treatment, stretching and gentle pressure are employed to activate the circulating energy or “ki” in the body. Pressure is applied with fingers, palms, forearms and occasionally feet to the meridians which are located on the surface of the body. The meridians respond to contact, exchanging and integrating environmental energy with our physical bodies. Throughout the session, the client is positioned comfortably in a variety of seated and lying postures to maximize the rejuvenating properties of shiatsu.
