Of Japanese origin, shiatsu is a manual technique based on touch. It helps to harmonize the vital energy of Qi and thus to correct irregularities in the body.

Drawing on traditional Chinese wisdom, shiatsu considers the health of the human being as a whole: physical, psychic and mental.

Shiatsu aims to restore the circulation of vital energy, Qi, in areas of the body where it is either lacking or in excess. It is practiced by exerting a more or less strong pressure with the thumbs and the fingers, but also with the palms, the fists, the elbows, the knees and even the feet, on precise points, located along the meridians and governing a specific organ or function. Depending on the problem, the therapist will use other techniques (kneading, rotation of the joints, stretching or vibration) in order to eliminate blockages, stimulate weak points and activate the natural forces of self-healing.
