SHIATSU (shi=fingers and atsu=pressure) is a therapy method that uses pressure exerted by the fingers on pre-established points. These points are distributed along 12 lines, known as meridians, that tend to accumulate an excess or develop a lack of vital energy (Qi). The benefits gained from pressure exerted on these points are many: relief in the case of muscular pains, regulation of the nervous system, help in digestion, stimulation of the blood and lymphatic circulation, and of hormonal secretion. Treating the points and the meridians means preventing illnesses and stimulating the natural healing power of the body.
SHIATSU is based on the same principles as acupuncture, and therefore the same ones as TCM, it shares their theoretical reference points, diagnosis and treatment principles. It is therefore appropriate to know the basics of these things so as to be able to carry out treatment in the best way possible.

Our hectic daily lives, and the responsibility or the weight of our commitments, lead us to have defensive bodily postures that manifest themselves as shoulders pushed forward and head bent down. Furthermore, we very often do not realize that we are maintaining incorrect postures during sleep, while driving, at the table, etc. All this has obvious negative effects on the neck muscles that feel the effects of all the bodily tensions. NECK MASSAGE is therefore a useful treatment for relieving tensions and alleviating pains, and also restoring that mental serenity that you need to face daily life better.

Our feet are probably the most long suffering part of our body, not only in physical terms (as they support the entire weight of our body right through the day and we often keep them imprisoned inside uncomfortable shoes), but in moral terms also as we often consider them as being dirty, smelly and ugly and we seek to hide them inside our socks even when it would be much better to go barefoot.
So that foot massages are not only highly relaxing and pleasant but also become a way of enhancing our general sense of well-being.

They act directly on the piliferous zone, which is the most external part of our body, which is also connected to our most inner parts, that is our emotions.
One has only to remember the occasions when one’s hair has stood on edge (goose bumps) as the result of a strong emotion, whether it be positive or negative, in which the hair has acted to externally display our emotion. According to this same principle, by working on the hair we can make those emotions emerge that are embedded deep within us, and which serve to confuse our energy system.

CALIFORNIAN massage is a very gentle massage consisting of very simple movements that are seemingly intuitive but are very effective because they fulfil that need for human contact that, in the hectic society in which we live, often gets lost. The rhythm is slow and follows that of the breathing. The hands of the person carrying out the massage remain constantly in contact with the body of the person who is receiving it. The movements are always embracing and fluid. The hands slide along the skin in circular movements and they are further assisted by the use of appropriate oils (very often enriched with fragrant essences).
CALIFORNIAN massage is suitable for re-establishing wellbeing in conditions of physical or mental stress or tiredness.
