Although many people find that Shiatsu helps in combating a wide range of conditions once they start, an increasing number are discovering that it is also great as a regular ‘toning up' treatment. Many cultures around the world recognize the existence of an energetic body working in concert with the physical flesh and bones. Exercise regimes such as yoga, tai chi and many martial arts are based upon just such an idea. Shiatsu, like acupuncture, works primarily with the energetic body, enhancing and strengthening its ability to deal with everything life throws at you. The idea is that if your energy, or ki, is flowing well, you feel good and are in good general health. If, on the other hand, your ki becomes slow, stagnant or unbalanced, you start to become less well and prone to illness.
