Product Description
Shiatsu is a form of profoundly effective, healing bodywork with its roots in ancient Oriental medicine and philosophy. Whether you want to increase your energy flow, treat common ailments, boost your immune system or just relax deeply and completely, shiatsu is for you. "Live Better: Shiatsu" offers an introduction to the origins and history of shiatsu, tracing its development and covering all its practical aspects. Through clear, easy-to-follow exercises, expert practitioner Chris Jarmey explains the basic shiatsu techniques, stretches and sequences, showing how these can be used in your everyday life to rebalance and revitalise yourself, your friends and your loved ones.
From the Back Cover
The UK’s most recommended and well used Shiatsu guide has been updated with new material throughout.
Shiatsu literally means ‘finger pressure’ and is a traditional Japanese massage technique which can rebalance the body and ease both mental and physical tension by applying pressure to the body’s energy channels, or meridians.
Fully illustrated, 'Shiatsu: The Complete Guide' appeals to beginners through to practitioners. Chris Jarmey covers all aspects of Shiatsu – the spiritual as well as the practical. Includes:
• The concept of Ki or Chi energy
• The essential building blocks of Shiatsu in practice
• How different parts of the body can be used to transmit energy
• How Shiatsu compliments traditional Chinese medicine

5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential for all students of shiatsu,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shiatsu: The Complete Guide (Paperback)
excellent book that is incredibly useful for first timers and seasoned practitioners. This is one of those rare books that seems to have more in it each time you read it and as you get further with your studies then the book seems to be even more useful that it did at the start of the course.

a logical and systematic textbook.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shiatsu: The Complete Guide (Paperback)
Shiatsu-The Complete Guide is well laid out and informative, with particularly clear line drawn illustrations to elucidate technique. The section on Oriental Medicine theory is concise, whilst maintaining an interesting poetic nuance. Overall, this book is a very interesting read as well as a source reference. The appendix on pont function is the best of type I have seen.

Exellent all round book,
By AikiGirl (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shiatsu: The Complete Guide (Paperback)
This book was used during my shiatsu course, once we had covered some of the basics. It's one I refer to time & time again. I would definitely recommend it. However, I do think the layout could be improved as it's very 'wordy' & maybe the use of different columns or boxes would have helped to highlight important points.
