WHAT IS SHIATSU?
Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese massage literally meaning "finger pressure". It is based on the principles of acupuncture, but is not limited to acupuncture points alone. Because the pressure points are located and administered through clothing, it is very conducive to treating family and friends.

WHAT WILL THE WEEKEND WORKSHOP COVER?
This two-day course will provide an intensive step-by-step program in SHIATSU practice with emphasis on technique rather than theory. Beginning with simple yoga and stretching exercises, a grounding in oriental concepts of health and healing is then presented as an aid to learning techniques and point location. Mastering the basics is simple. and students will practice on each other during the course.

At the completion of the weekend. participants will be able to give an effective SHIATSU treatment to family and friends.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND THIS COURSE?
Because Shiatsu treatments are conducted on a futon on the floor, participants need to be comfortable working on their hands and knees. The course will be of interest to people who are drawn to oriental therapies. Shiatsu is very popular as a home remedy because it is simple, safe and effective.

The ease of alleviating minor aches and pains, stiffness, effects of stress and fatigue on family and friends will become apparent. The course is also suitable for health practitioners who can use it in their workplace such as nurses and physiotherapists.

WHAT TYPE OF CLIENTS LOVE THIS FORM OF REMEDY?
Because Shiatsu is based on the principles of acupuncture, many of the pressure points directly affect internal organs. It is a deeper treatment than just working the skin and muscles and is particularly effective for treating sore backs, necks, shoulders, headaches, asthma, insomnia, stress, sinus, etc.

The entire body is treated and a session may also include the use of flowing stretches and gentle rotations of the limbs and joints, simple structural alignments and muscle release techniques. On a subtler level, shiatsu allows the receiver to deeply relax, stimulating the body’s inherent ability for self-healing and regeneration.
