Product Description
Product Description
Developed from a traditional from of Japanese massage, Shiatsu is based upon the same philosophy and medical theory as acupuncture and other oriental healing methods. Literally translated, Shi-atsu means 'finger pressure', but practitioners also use their palms, knees and forearms, and employ stretching techniques. These combine in a simple but effective from of treatment used to promote health and general well-being, as well as to cure illness and prevent future problems. In this straightforward step-by-step guide, Oliver Cowmeadow introduces us to the ways in which Shiatsu can be beneficial to both the person giving and the person receiving. Shiatsu: A Practical Introduction clearly explains: the role of energy in Shiatsu; how to give a full body Shiatsu treatment; how to eat an energetically balanced diet to promote health; how to treat simple health problems with Shiatsu; methods of oriental diagnosis; common uses of acupressure points; energy balancing exercises for yourself

Format:Paperback
Oliver Cowmeadow has done a wonderful job of sharing his passion and knowledge of shiatsu. This book is a complete, concise, yet an easy-to-understand introduction to shiatsu; what it is, the basic principles, and how to do it. Also touching on Macrobiotics, the book is well structured and has lots of diagrams and illustrations to capture your interest. This book is certainly the most comprehensive and comprehensible introduction on shiatsu I have seen. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning the basics of shiatsu.
