Shiatsu can benefit the health and wellbeing of people who...

• suffer from acute or chronic physical discomfort

  Shiatsu can have an alleviating effect on chronic pain and discomfort. For instance in cases of stress-related pain caused by inner- or muscular tension. It can be beneficial for people with joint or muscle pains, such as tensions in back, shoulder, and neck as well as for people with headaches or migraine.

• want to relax and unwind

  Shiatsu can result in a deep relaxation and is therefore particulary suited for people looking for possibilities to reduce stress, find inner peace and feeling balanced.

• feel exhausted

  Shiatsu stimulates your body's resources and self regeneration capabilities and thus also supports your emotional well-being. Often clients report a sense of ease, clarity and wholeness during or after a session.

• want to do something for their health and overall well-being

  Through its gentle and quiet way of interaction, Shiatsu often has a positive effect on the vegetative nervous system which often results in an improvement of the overall wellbeing. Among other things, organ systems will be stimulated. Shiatsu can have a positive impact on gastro-intestinal complaints, sleeping disorders, poor concentration, anxiety or nervousness.

• look for support in times of life-altering crisis

  Shiatsu has demonstrated its worth supporting people in times of crisis and transistion - e.g. during separation, mourning and conflicts- through its mindful and sensitive physical interaction as well as in the conversation with the therapist. The resources and self healing potential of an individual will be stimulated and supported. Shiatsu can be a complement to psycho-therapeutic treatment.  

• look for support in a transitional process

  Shiatsu can have a positive effect in phases of hormonal changes or hormonally related complaints and will be applicable during and after pregnancy, menstrual pains or menopausal symptoms.
