Description of Shiatsu

Practitioners of Shiatsu beleive in the existence of life energy called Qi ("Chee"). Qi is thought to flow through channels in our bodies and disease or ill health occurs when there is a blockage or an obstruction to the free flow of this energy. Therapists therefore use various parts of their own bodies to apply pressure onto specific points on the patient. Thereby releasing the obstruction and promoting teh free flow of Qi.

A similar concept is used in other complementary medicines such as acupuncture which si thought to have the same effect by the insertion of needles on so called acupoints which again results in the free flow of Qi.

Shiatsu can be used as an ais to relaxation but is also thought to stimulate the immune system, the circulation of blood and the disposal of natural toxins from the body. It can be used to treat symptoms of stress, fatigue, headaches and many types of pain.

In teh UK further information can be obtained from The Shiatsu Society.
