About Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a blend of traditional bodywork techniques developed in China and Japan.  The practitioner works with the chi (or energy) that circulates throughout the body along well-defined passageways called "meridians".  As it moves through the body, the chi feeds the organs, muscles and senses and therefore vitalizes all of the body's functions.  If the flow of energy is balanced, then a person feels well physically and emotionally.  If the energy becomes overactive or deficient, then conditions and symptoms begin to arise.
