Traditional Shiatsu: An Ancient Technique for Harmony of Body and Mind

Traditional shiatsu is a Japanese manual therapy inspired by traditional Chinese medicine, aimed at preventing illness and maintaining good health.

By working on the acupuncture meridian system, shiatsu provides deep relaxation and promotes physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Shiatsu Techniques

During a Shiatsu session, the practitioner applies gentle, deep pressure to specific points on the body and along the energy meridians using their thumbs and hands. This pressure stimulates the flow of blood and energy throughout the body, thereby promoting internal balance.

The session usually takes place while the recipient is lying down, wearing comfortable clothing or covered with a towel if necessary. Each session lasts 60 minutes.

The Benefits of Shiatsu

Shiatsu offers numerous benefits for physical and mental health. Among them:

• Deep relaxation: It provides intense relaxation, helping to reduce stress and anxiety.
• Pain relief: It helps alleviate back and neck pain, joint pain, tendonitis, and osteoarthritis.
• Improved digestion: It alleviates digestive issues such as stomachaches, acid reflux, heartburn, abdominal pain, gas, and bloating.

A client’s testimonial about her experience with Christelle

I had the opportunity to discover Shiatsu at Thalasso & Spa les Corallines****, and this session was a true moment of well-being. From the very first moments, Christelle, the practitioner—who was remarkably gentle and attentive—was able to identify my needs without me having to say a word. The pressure she applied, both gentle and precise, provided deep relaxation and a gradual sense of release. 

This experience gave me a real boost of energy and a pleasant feeling of lightness that lasted long after the session ended.
