Shiatsu therapy benefits joints by improving circulation, relieving muscle tension around them, and enhancing flexibility through targeted pressure, stretches, and joint mobilization, making it helpful for conditions like arthritis by boosting energy flow (Qi) and promoting the body's self-healing for better mobility and pain reduction. Practitioners use thumbs, palms, and body weight to work on meridian points, often including joint rotations and stretches, to release blockages and encourage balanced energy, leading to reduced pain, stiffness, and improved range of motion.

Shiatsu is a non invasive therapy originating from Japan. Based on the provisions of the European Union, it belongs to complementary health treatments. It has spread in many parts of the world and is used as a complementary technique like physiotherapy.
It uses a combination of kneading, pressing, tapping and stretching techniques. These gentle techniques aim to reduce tension and re energise the body. 
Shiatsu works with the body's energy flow, known as Ki or Qi.
According to shiatsu specialists disruption to this energy flow can cause illness and disease.
Like acupuncture, shiatsu claims to free blockages to the energy flow (Ki) and restore energy to areas where it is low. A shiatsu specialist does this by pressing on or stretching points on your body that lie along the lines of energy called meridian channels.
Shiatsu stimulates the circulation of your blood, helps to release toxins and tension from your muscles, and stimulates your hormonal system. It helps to lift your mood and make you feel relaxed.

Shiatsu offers a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional benefits, including alleviating stress, anxiety, and muscle tension, improving circulation and lymphatic drainage, reducing headaches and digestive problems, and restoring energy levels. It promotes a sense of relaxation and supports the body's natural healing processes.

In japanese Shiatsu means "finger pressure". It uses stretching and pressing technique and is performed without oils, through light and comfortable clothing. A Shiatsu therapist applies varied and rhythmic pressure on precise points of the body. These points are called acupressure points and are considered essential for the flow of our body`s vital energy, known as Qi. The aim is to heal common ailments and correct imbalances in the body. The pressure applied promotes energy flow and aims to amend these disharmonies

A session lasts 60 minutes.

Hands Shiatsu Massage, 40'/60'
Our hands are the instruments through which myriads of emotions are expressed. Through hands we express closeness or distance, anger or tenderness, giving shape to an emotion with a gesture.
A shiatsu treatment on the back, palm and fingers of the hand is a good choice to give yourself relaxation, not only to the massaged area but also to shoulders, neck and head. And, even more important, the benefit is extended to all the organs of the body through the meridians that are reflected on the hand. The stimulation of the meridians and specific points on the hand through massage, touch and pressure can reduce stress and anxiety and improve general well-being.

Feet, even if apparently are very distant, have a big importance for everyone. According to the ancient Taoists, ‘washing the feet’ is useful both for personal hygiene and to increase blood circulation and clear ideas. Foot Massage combined with Shiatsu and Reflexology is a good choice to treat fatigue of the lower limbs but also the whole body, as it is a holistic method of relief. The stimulation of the meridians and specific points on the foot through massage, touch and pressure can reduce stress and anxiety, reduce pain, lift mood, correct imbalances in the body and improve general well-being.
