Benefits of Shiatsu

Shiatsu's focus is not the "cure" of a particular problem, but to restore harmony so that the body can heal itself by reestablishing Ki flows throughout the meridians. Therefore, there are few conditions that cannot be alleviated to some extent by Shiatsu treatment. The extent depends on the ability of the practitioner and the choice of technique.

Shiatsu is very effective in treating conditions where emotional disturbance or stress is an underlying factor:
  • Insomnia
  • Anxiety and Depression
  • Muscular Tension
  • Headaches
  • Digestive Disturbances
  • Menstrual Dysfunction
  • Low Resistance to infection
Shiatsu can also affect changes in disorders of the musculoskeletal system, since it works directly on the tissues involved:
  • Backache
  • Synovitis
  • Sprains and Strains
  • Neck & Shoulder Stiffness
  • Joint Pain
Shiatsu can relieve discomfort from:
  • Sinus Congestion
  • Retention of fluid in the tissues
  • Poor Circulation
