Shiatsu is an oriental full-body massage, it is similar to western massages only when it comes to some of the techniques - fingerpresses, limb manipulations and stretches in order to relieve muscle tensions and to loosen joints.

The treatment takes place on a tatami (special mattress) at floor level, the client stays fully dressed. The main aim of the treatment is to restore the energy system of the recipient, rather than merely exercising muscles and joints. This is the big difference between the shiatsu healing art and other types of massages - so for example when the shiatsu practitioner works with the shoulder joint, he/she doesn't concentrate only on the joint, but also applies techniques that influence the energy flow of the whole body.

Shiatsu treatment is applicable for everyone, including children, elders and pregnant women. The therapy is tailored to the recipients needs and ailments.
