Traditional Shiatsu Therapy in Amstelveen and Amsterdam.Shiatsu (指壓法) is an ancient Japanese treatment method. Literally translated, Shiatsu means "finger pressure." Shiatsu is a manual body-oriented therapy that is closely related to acupuncture and works with the same meridians and pressure points. Both rely on the life energy (Ki/Chi/Qi) present in humans, and on the self-healing ability of the body. In Shiatsu, however, the therapist does not work with needles, but with the hands, knees and elbows.It activates the body's natural healing power, reducing symptoms of illness and increasing vitality. Shiatsu allows the body to recognize again how to truly relax. As a result, the functioning of body functions improves, and the body regains its natural resistance, resilience and ability to recover and regenerate.
