Shiatsu comes from Japan with its theory based on Traditional Chinese Medicine. The word Shiatsu is translated as the application of finger pressure on both the acu points and meridians of traditional Chinese medicine. Actually we are able to use our palms, our fingers elbows, even our knees to allow for varying treatment regimes on the person we are treating. The basis of Shiatsu is to move or to assist the free flow of what is called Chi ( Qi ). This chi runs within our bodies highway of energetic lines called meridians ( Historical and ancient lines of energy based on traditional Chinese medicine ). Traditional chinese medicine has a history of more than 3000 years and is still widely used around the world today. Shiatsu is carried out on a futon on the floor with the person remaining clothed, so no need to disrobe. Over the duration of the course ( one class per week ) you will learn how to treat a person using the actual shiatsu sequences in the different positions to access the areas in need. A work book, meridian charts and sequence sheets are included. Learn how to give effective Shiatsu treatments to family and friends. |
