Medisch Shiatsu Namikoshi

In Japanese, "Shi" means finger and "atsu" means pressure. The aim of Shiatsu is to promote the self-healing ability and to support pain complaints. Shiatsu is characterized by pressure applied to various anatomical points of the body by thumbs, fingers and palms. In Western terms, these points correspond to muscles, bones, blood vessels, nerves, lymphatic vessels and glands. From an Eastern perspective, it is based on energy channels (meridians), and the so-called Qi circulation and is based on the ancient Chinese Medicine.

Shiatsu Namikoshi works:

• myological (relaxes and relaxes the muscles and promotes movement of the joints)
• energetic (balances the energy);
• circulatory (promotes good circulation of blood and body substances and removal of waste)
• hormonal (balances hormones);
• neurological (balances and calms the nervous system).

Illness and injury are often preceded by impaired physical and mental function due to the accumulation of fatigue manifested by everyday symptoms, such as headaches, lethargy, drowsiness, or stiffness in the muscles of the neck and back. The body gradually loses its ability to maintain balance, making it more susceptible to further complications. The shiatsu therapist treats the whole person (holistic) and guides the person to a better physical and mental well-being.

Shiatsu Namikoshi is a pleasant form of therapy due to the complete "bodywork".
