Shiatsu - 1 Year Acupressure Certificate

What is Shiatsu?

Shiatsu is a form of holistic bodywork, sometimes called Acupressure massage, with its original roots in Japan and in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is deeply relaxing and is used to treat a wide range of health conditions, any stress-related problems, and for preventative health care. Increasingly developments in Western science may be able to explain how Shiatsu works at a structural and cellular level. Shiatsu is now a popular therapy, formally regulated by the Shiatsu Society (UK).
