In Japanese "Shi" means finger and "atsu" means pressure.

Shiatsu is characterized by a soothing and gentle deep pressure that is applied to various anatomic points on the body by the thumbs, fingers, palms and to about 700 effective points of the body that correspond to the muscles, bones, blood vessels, nerves, lymph vessels and glands of the endocrine system. Other than that it will improve the circulation of the blood- and body substances. Besides it will detox your body by removing toxins. The type, degree and duration of pressure are adjusted to meet the special needs of each area of the body and each individual. After this calming treatment, both your body and mind will be completely relaxed.

This Japanese pressure point massage was developed by Tokujiro Namikoshi into a full treatment and his therapy was recognized in 1957 by the Japanese Ministry of Health

Shiatsu works:  myological (i.e. relaxes the muscles and improves the joint mobility), energetic (better circulation of energy), circulation (good circulation of blood and body substances as well as disposal of waste), hormonal (influence of hormones), neurological (nervous system), psychological.

For whom? -  I am entitled to give a traditional basic Shiatsu treatment. It is a form of a massage but  this (massage) treatment is only given from a health perspective.
 

Application -  In a nice and quiet area, Shiatsu will be given in a traditional Japanese way: on a futon or comfortable mattress. Please notify me in front, if you would like to be massaged on a massage table. The preferred treatment is given directly on the skin as I can then better feel and check the skin. You will be covered with warm towels or blankets. Underwear is kept on.
