Shiatsu therapy is a non-invasive, deeply relaxing holistic healing
art that differs from massage therapy, as it works along the Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture meridians of the body and does not involve the use of oils.

The literal translation of Shiatsu is “finger-pressure”. Shiatsu originated in Japan and is a full body treatment done with the client wearing comfortable clothing. The therapist applies systematic and rhythmic pressure utilizing their thumbs, fingers, palms, elbows and knees to assess and treat the body. The results are decreased pain, tension and stiffness with an increase in joint range of motion, flexibility and overall vitality.

From a Western perspective, shiatsu pressure stimulates the healing “rest-and-digest” functions of the parasympathetic nervous system to calm the body's overactive "fight-or-flight" sympathetic nervous system.

From an Eastern perspective, shiatsu therapy promotes and balances the flow of Qi (energy) along the body’s channels (energy pathways) in order to restore optimal organ function and maintain health.

Everyone can benefit from Shiatsu massage. Not only excellent for relaxation, shiatsu is effective for children, women and men, athletes and the elderly in managing many chronic and acute conditions. In addition, many of our patients enjoy a short shiatsu treatment after having acupuncture.

Phenomenal at stress management, shiatsu can play an important role in supporting conception objectives and is the perfect complement to a fertility acupuncture treatment plan. It has the added benefit of treating not only the channels that affect reproductive health, but can also help any additional conditions the patient may have such as:

Shiatsu on its own, or paired with acupuncture, is highly enjoyable as well as being beneficial. Treatments are 30 minutes or 1-hour in length depending on the clients’ preference.
