What is Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a Japanese form of bodywork. The word shiatsu means "finger pressure", and shiatsu is sometimes described as a finger pressure massage.
Like acupuncture, shiatsu is based on the holistic system of traditional Chinese medicine, where illness is thought to result from imbalances in the natural flow of energy, or qi through the body.
A scientific explanation is that shiatsu calms an overactive sympathetic nervous system, which improves circulation, relieves stiff muscles, and alleviates stresss.
What is Ohashiatsu
Ohashiatsu is a unique method of healing touch. It’s also a method of meditation, a method of self-improvement. It’s taken shiatsu/acupressure to a different level. Initially developed to keep the “giver’s” body healthy, the relaxed state of the giver actually makes it more effective and more comfortable for the receiver. Ohashiatsu combines hands-on touch techniques, limb rotation, and stretches, in a seamless flow of movement. It is an energizing dance.
