What are the benefits of Shiatsu?
Suitable for everyone regardless of age or ability, Shiatsu works on different levels of being including physical, emotional, mental and energetic. As such, it can help with a wide range of imbalances:
Manages pain, provides relief and relaxation.
The gentle bodywork techniques and stretches help release tension from the muscles and connective tissues. Whether it is stiffness from a workday or soreness from physical activities, Shiatsu can soften and soothe different areas of the body.
Reduces stress levels and enhances mental health.
Shiatsu sessions induce calm and relaxation. Each experience is tailored to the needs of the individual and can help calm the mind and promote a sense of inner peace and groundedness.
Improves circulation and helps detoxify the body.
Shiatsu techniques are applied to specific points throughout the body to increase blood flow and circulation. Overall health and vitality are enhanced as increased circulation delivers the necessary nutrients to the connective tissues.
Enhances range of motion and flexibility.
Shiatsu practitioners work with the ability of the receiver to release tension and tightness from the muscles. Specific movement and stretches restore the range of motion of the joints and gradually improve flexibility through the muscles and connective tissues.
Regulates the nervous system.
Shiatsu sessions provide a safe container in which the practitioner is trained to hold space for the receiver’s experience. Through the gentle sense of touch, Shiatsu can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body’s relaxation response.
Decreases fatigue and improves sleep.
Shiatsu sessions can be deeply restorative and relaxing. They are an invitation to slow down and be present in the moment. As tensions are released from the body and the nervous system moves out of the stress response, quality of sleep is improved.
Balances life force energy.
By applying gentle pressure on the vital points across the meridians, Shiatsu can enhance the flow of vital energy (Ki), restoring balance and harmony within the body. This facilitates a holistic sense of wellbeing.
