What does Shiatsu mean?

The actual word “SHIATSU” means “Finger Pressure”. SHI = Finger, ATSU = Pressure. Its origins are ancient and a part of the classical oriental medical theory which dates back as far as 2.000 BC. To the beginnings of “Acupuncture”. There are a variety of techniques used but they are all linked with the common belief in the body's energy “KI” which flow in interconnecting channels or “Meridians” around the body.

Connecting meridians

Each “Meridian” is connected to a psycho-physical function or organ. Its action can be affected at certain points along the channels known as “Tsubos”, which are more prominent where the energies meet. When good health is maintained the energy flows smoothly along the “Meridians”. But if the body has been weakened through: Incorrect posture, traumatic experiences (e.g: Accident or immoderate lifestyle) deficiencies will arise in some areas; the “KI” no longer flows smoothly and disease will occur.
