Shiatsu Resources Worldwide

General

Supporting Psychotherapists and Counsellors with Shiatsu

Therapists take care of others, hear their stories and support them in their difficulties. Receiving Shiatsu creates more balance in the giving and receiving of support.

Cancer, Hospitals, Mental Health

Shiatsu for Mental Health & Cancer Patients

Shiatsu alleviates pain by stimulating the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals. This reduces the need for pain medication and improves patients’ quality of life

Care Homes

Shiatsu and Dementia

Shiatsu sessions resonated in the memories of residents who were otherwise challenged in that regard – Shiatsu may stimulate a connection with otherwise submerged cognitive resources.

Children, Hospitals

Shiatsu at Hippokratio Pain Clinic

The possibility of using Shiatsu as a complementary tool for chronic pain management became clear to the doctors who had the opportunity to observe Shiatsu sessions.

Children, Empowerment

The ‘Shiatsu Giovani’ Project

Shiatsu helps the children discover two very important aspects of themselves: they experience their boundaries and learn to enjoy their bodies.

Hospitals

Shiatsu for People Emerging from Coma

People with severe brain injuries need exactly what everyone else needs: presence, careful and subtle listening. Shiatsu is a gentle and steady technique that proved its worth in these testing situations.
