In balancing the flow of energy in the 'acupuncture' meridans, shiatsu can relieve many conditions, help prevent the build-up of stress and restore vitality and well-being.
Literally translated 'finger pressure', Shiatsu involves comfortable pressure from the thumbs and palms applied to the energy channels and points in the body. Given through loose, comfortable clothing, shiatsu may also include gentle stretches and rotations of the limbs and joints.
This course is a general introduction to the basic principles of Shiatsu, including:-
How to use particular acupressure points, meridan stretches and "Do-In" - self Shiatsu techniques to improve you own health and well being.
Working with a partner, learn a simple, effective Shiatsu treatment for the back and shoulders which you can use to help keep you family and friends in better health.
The Course Tutor Mr John McKeever is a registered Practitioner and Teacher with Shiatsu Society of Ireland.
