Shiatsu massage

Shiatsu er den japanske version af Østens massagetraditioner. Den udspringer af den samme tradition, som de kinesiske behandlings-former f.eks. Qi Gong, akupressurmassage og akupunktur. Blokkeringer i meridianernes kredsløb fjernes, og qi-energiens flow normaliseres; men stedet for at sætte nåle i akupunkturpunkterne masseres punkterne. Shiatsu er et moderne navn for en variant af ældgamle japanske massagebehandlinger, den moderne Shiatsus grundlægger Tokujiro Namikoshi levede i begyndelsen af 1900-tallet.
I Japan skal udøvere af shiatsumassage have en 3 årig uddannelse for at få licens.



Shiatsu is a hands on therapy using finger pressure on acupoints somewhat like acupuncture but without the needles that addresses energy blockages in the meridian pathways and restores balance for the body to heal again.
In Japan, anyone who practices shiatsu therapy must be licensed with the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Shiatsupractors are required to study at least three years/2200-hour educational programme of shiatsu therapy in the universities or colleges which are authorised by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and pass the national exam to be licensed.
