Shiatsu is a Japanese therapeutic technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, aiming to balance the body’s energy flow through acupressure. By applying pressure with fingers, palms, and even elbows on specific meridians, Shiatsu stimulates the body’s self-healing mechanisms, alleviates stress, and enhances overall well-being.
Unlike traditional massages that focus on muscles, Shiatsu works on the body’s energy pathways, known as meridians. Each meridian corresponds to different organs and functions, and by applying precise pressure, practitioners help unblock stagnated energy (Qi), allowing it to flow freely. This process improves circulation, boosts the immune system, and promotes deep relaxation.
Shiatsu is beneficial for relieving muscle pain, digestive issues, anxiety, and sleep disorders. The therapy is performed with the recipient fully clothed, making it a comfortable and accessible treatment for many people. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain or simply seeking a moment of deep relaxation, a Shiatsu session at our holistic hostel can be a transformative experience, helping you reconnect with your body and mind in a harmonious way.
