Shiatsu for Structual Dysfunction
Acupuncture and Shiatsu are based on the same principles, founded some 4,000 years ago. The ancient Chinese people recognized and named the energy circulation system of the body and applied it to the basic principles of the body's various physiological functions to maintain homeostasis and to prevent disease. If meridians become blocked, stagnated or weakened, it can result in physical, mental or emotional ill health. Acupressure or Acupuncture releases blockages in the meridians to restore proper energy flow and balance.
Our Shiatsu treatment is a full body general application and is designed to specifically break up toxic aggregations on the lateral borders and belly of the primary muscle groups. Tendinous attachments become relaxed while blood and lymph circulation is returned to normal, creating the ability for optimal performance of the musculoskeletal system. The optimal Shiatsu for Structural Dysfunction session allows for 7-10 seconds of acupressure on each tsubo making it an hour and a half session. The session can be consolidated into one hour for a more invigorating treatment.
