EXCERPTS:
"Over
the centuries, Chinese health practitioners developed a system
based on the premise that good health is dependent on the balanced
flow of vitality in the body, and in particular, on the energy
that flows through a specific system of channels, or meridians.
Chinese hands-on techniques were further developed in Japan
and influenced by that culture’s practice of massage."
"Shiatsu
can be very useful where oils should be avoided due to a skin
condition, or for those in a fragile condition who require
a gentle touch such as the elderly or ill. Many active people
looking for deeper pressure and a firmer stretch to joints,
limbs, and muscles find Shiatsu helps their flexibility and
athletic performance." |
