Definition of shiatsu

Thanks to the pressure of the fingers, elbows, palms of hands or even feet, the Shiatsu practitioner unlocks the patient's muscular blockages and helps the energy fluids to better circulate in the body. Shiatsu is based on acupressure, or pressing a meridian of the body to unlock the knots that would prevent energy from circulating well in the body. 

During a shiatsu massage, blood circulation and fluids is restored, and the muscular blockages sold. The gradual pressure exerted during massage on the acupressure points of the body allows maximum relaxation and a unique moment of relaxation. Shiatsu therefore acts on both the body and the mind, and its benefits are numerous. 💆‍♀
