EQUINE SHIATSU THERAPY
Shiatsu Therapy
It is a
non-invasive effective therapy that works on the whole body.
Shiatsu follows the same basic principles as acupuncture. Instead
of needles it uses palm and finger pressures, gentle stretches and
rotations. Energy "Ki" flows throughout the body, but condenses
more strongly in certain spots and channels which are often near to
nerves, joints or major arteries and flow through muscle groups.
These spots and channels are known as Acupoints and meridians, and
it is here that the Shiatsu practitioner or Acupuncturist can most
easily access the body's "Ki".
