Zen Shiatsu -- A form of Japanese bodywork. Shiatsu involves localized pressure using the therapist's fingers (or sometimes hands and elbows), applied in a rhythmic sequence along the body. With roots in traditional Chinese medicine, the goal of shiatsu is to stimulate acupressure points on the body to improve the flow of blood, lymph and energy and help regain balance. Since no oil or lotion is used, you wear loose clothing. Shiatsu is often used to reduce stress and protect against stress-related health issues. Shiatsu is also effective for treating conditions like arthritis, autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, insomnia, back and neck pain, frozen shoulder, sciatica, and even sinus problems. It helps increase energy, promote recovery from injuries, and stimulate the digestive system. Shiatsu is appropriate for both women and men of all ages and body types.
