WHAT HAPPENS IN A SHIATSU SESSION?

At the first appointment, the practitioner evaluates the client to determine the patterns of imbalance within the meridian system and to show a connection between symptoms and cause. Furthermore, the eating habits are analysed in order to have a positive effect on them as well.

After that the actual Shiatsu session begins. The client wears loose, comfortable clothing (trousers, T-shirt and socks) and lies on a shiatsu mat. The goal is to restore the balance of the meridian system through work on the meridians and the acupuncture points and other different techniques (like ion-pumping cords, diodes, moxa).

Improvements are often noticed already after the first treatment. However, it certainly makes sense to repeat the treatment once a week within the first few weeks, to ensure a long-lasting improvement.

Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.

And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.
