Shiatsu Massage Taster Day with Giacomo
£30 // 25 Minutes

Shiatsu is a Japanese energy-based type of bodywork. The word shiatsu literally means ‘finger pressure’ (Shi=press and Atsu=finger). Its origin is in ancient philosophic oriental traditions and in Traditional Chinese Medicine.  The principle of shiatsu is related to the energy flow (Ki or Qi), through the body. According to shiatsu principle, disruption to this energy flow can cause illness and disease. Shiatsu claims to free blockages to the Ki flow, and restore energy to areas where it is low, by pressing on points on the body along the lines of energy called meridian channels.

Shiatsu can effectively treat a range of muscolo-skeletal and stress-related problems, can maintain good health and also help prevent many types of health problem from arising.
Using fingers, hands, elbows and sometimes feet, pressing the body of the receiver, the practitioner stimulates the circulation of the Ki, helps to release toxins and tension from muscles, and stimulates the hormonal system, helping the body heal itself.
