Are you looking for a therapy with which you can find your inner balance again? Which touches you on the levels of body, mind and soul? Shiatsu releases tension in the body and stimulates the body's self-regulating powers.

Shiatsu is a recognized method of complementary therapy, rooted in traditional Far Eastern philosophy and health teachings, which views the human being as a unity of body, soul and spirit. As an independent form of treatment, Shiatsu originated in Japan and literally means finger pressure.

The central guiding principle of Chinese medical teachings (TCM) is the concept of the life force - the Ki energy - which is active in all life. In our body, this energy flows in the so-called meridians that run through the entire body. These represent energetic connections between organ and life functions and ensure the interaction between body, soul and spirit. Every illness, every pain, even every disharmony of both physical and psychological nature are in the holistic sense an expression of an imbalance of our body energies. These disturbances of the energy flow can be sensed as imbalances in the energy balance of the human being, often before they manifest themselves as diseases. In direct touch, these imbalances can be addressed with differentiated techniques. Pressure is applied to areas of tension with the hands, elbows or knees to balance them out, weak areas are "nourished/stimulated". Stretches and joint rotations are also performed to stimulate or calm the meridian energy throughout its course.

The special art of Shiatsu is to fully engage with each person and their energetic state. Each person is seen and accepted in his or her uniqueness.
