theshiatsuguy on 02 May 18Shiatsu is a form of touch therapy that originated in Japan, but draws extensively on ancient Chinese medical philosophy and practice. Shiatsu, which activates the body's natural ability to heal, is used not only to treat a wide variety of physiological and psychological symptoms, but also as a preventative measure to maintain general health and wellbeing. Eastern cultures believe that illness results from imbalances in the natural flow of energy through the body. As in other treatments such as acupuncture, Shiatsu therapy manipulates the energy to restore balance and allow it to flow freely. This energy, the body's life force, flows along pathways or meridians throughout the body. In Japan it is known as Ki. In other areas of the East it is called Qi or Chi.
