SHIATSU WHAT IS SHIATSU?SHIATSU (or Acupressure) is traditional East Asian pressure point therapy applied to points along the Meridians to bring about a balancing effect to the internal organ system, which in turn balances the mind.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SHIATSU? As long as the internal bodily functions are able to respond smoothly to external influences, the body remains in good health.

HOW EXACTLY DOES SHIATSU WORK? Because meridians flow throughout the whole body, it is possible to read the meridians by being aware of nerve-reflexes. In brief, this means that when an abnormal condition occurs in an internal organ, alterations take place in the skin and muscles related to that organ by means of the nervous system. These alterations are the nerve-reflexes. The nervous system, extending throughout the internal organs, the skin, the muscles, and the subcutaneous tissues, constantly transmit information about their physical condition to the spinal cord and the brain. These impulses set up the reflex action that causes symptoms of the internal organic disorder to manifest themselves in the surface areas of the body. HOW DOES EXTERNAL PRESSURE TO MERIDIANS AFFECT INTERNAL ORGANS? The relation between internal organs and external ones has a reverse effect as well; that is stimulation to the skin and muscles affects the condition of the internal organs and tissues, since impulses from the outside are transmitted to the inside by means of the nervous system and the spinal cord. |
