Shiatsu Massage
After many years of training in the Martial Arts Sensei Trevor started to take an
interest in" Kyusho-Jutsu" vital points in Karate, which led him to participate
in a two year study of Shiatsu under the guidance of Michie Araki at the Shiatsu
Yoga Centre Queensland.
What is Shiatsu !
Shiatsu is a form of physical manipulation that was developed in Japan in the 20th
Century. Its origin comes from ancient Chinese techniques DO-IN and anma. DO-IN
is very similar to yoga while anma resembles western massage. These two techniques
are the oldest forms of medical treatment in the orient.
The Shiatsu system is also derived from Chinese acupuncture. It uses the same pathways
of energy - the meridians - and the same points called Tsubos. The essential difference
is a Shiatsu practitioner uses no needles. It is an energetic system of healing
that balances the body's energy field by removing blockages in the pathways.
Shiastsu technique involves stretching, holding and leaning body weight into various
part of the recipients body to improve energy flow, blood circulation,flexibility
and posture. Pressure and contact is applied through the hands thumbs, fingers,
forearms, knees and feet, with the recipient sitting or lying in various positions.
Treatment is focused along specific Channels (meridians) of subtle bodily energy
called Ki. Ki is the life force which sustains every activity of the body, mind
and spirit.
