Shiatsu

Everyone suffers from pain, fatigue or tension at some time or other. Regularly recurring complaints can be extremely tedious. Especially if it is unclear what the cause is. Shiatsu is an acupressure massage in which pressure is exerted on the body using the hands and thumbs. Whereby your energy can flow unimpeded again, so that you feel relaxed and healthy once more.

How does it work

According to Eastern medicine, our body has an extensive system of energy flows, also called meridians. The meridians are related to our body functions and organs. If there is a disruption in the energy flow, this can lead to various complaints. The purpose of shiatsu, is to restore balance. In this way, body and mind are encouraged to heal.

Shiatsu & cranio
Cranio is a gentle and subtle form of touch. By following the rhythm of the body and feeling where stagnation is in the connective tissue, the body is invited to occupy the maximum space possible. Cranio helps regulate the nervous system, allowing you to relax on an even deeper level.
