 Shiatsu is a form of bodywork that is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine.  The word shiatsu means "finger pressure."  The techniques are administered over the clothes using mostly thumb pressure.  Palms, elbows or feet may also be applied to areas.  Exercising and correcting methods are used in conjunction with pressure to create a dynamic experience.  A session will focus on correcting any imbalances or disharmonies that can manifest on a physical, emotional or energetic level.  According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, physical manifestations of pain are always rooted in a deeper disharmony in the body.  Both aspects are addressed in order to have long term results.

Additional Techniques and Specialized Services

Cupping

Cupping is a technique that has been used for thousands of years by Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners.  It is a safe and effective way to decrease pain or obstruction in the tissue.  Plastic cups are applied to the skin through suction and left on for a period of time.  Non-painful round marks may be left on the skin and will disappear in a couple of days.  

Guasha

Guasha (dermal friction) is another technique along with cupping that has been utilized for thousands of years by Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners.  It is a technique where a hand held tool is used to scrape the body creating micro dermal abrasions.  Petichae (or Sha) may appear as a red sand like rash as evidence of pain in the tissue.  The rash does not hurt, but does need to be covered until it is healed (usually a couple days).  Western medical traditions utilize similar techniques such as Graston Technique or Scouting.
