Essential Shiatsu: Anwendung der japanischen Heilmassage für körperliche Gesundheit und geistiges Wohlbefinden

Shiatsu is the ancient Japanese art of finger pressure massage and, just like acupuncture, it aims to identify and treat the eight meridians of the human body by applying pressure and stimulation in order to treat a wide variety of human ailments and lethargies. The eight meridians were known even in ancient times, but no one really knew fully their significance in putting right major imbalances. In Essential Shiatsu, experienced Shiatsu master Yuichi Kawada brings this ancient art up to date and fully explains and illustrates the full mapping of the new meridians and offers instructions on how to stimulate them with hand pressure and stretching. The psychosomatic connection of illness is explained and the book features a comprehensive list of ailments and suggested Shiatsu treatments. The author also provides reassuring and inspiring case histories which show how the treatment has been effective in treating real life cases.
