Shiatsu Olaf Fischer 1 hour $95
According to oriental medicine, of which shiatsu is an intrinsic part, the body has twelve basic energy channels called meridians. These form the energetic background of the visible anatomic organs and are the source of all vital functions. Each meridian corresponds to an organ system. Practitioners apply pressure along the meridians, which promotes the body's ability to heal itself. It also reenergizes the optimal flow of life energy, also known as ki, in addition to increasing the blood flow to all vital organs and systems of the body, reducing muscle tension and stress.
A shiatsu session includes an evaluation of general energy flow and vitality, the dissolving of energy blockages in the meridians, application of pressure to meridian points along meridians on the back, torso, legs, arms and head, and gentle stretches and rotations of the arms and legs to eliminate any energetic stagnation in the joints. After a treatment, you usually feel completely relaxed and rejuvenated at the same time, and experience a sense of deeper sense of harmony and wholeness.
