Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese bodywork therapy based on pressure and stretches, using the same 'meridian' channels of the body that acupunture stimulates using needle. Shiatsu practitioners use thumbs, palms, fingers, even elbows to create a unique effect.
Although Shiatsu is an ancient art in Japan, it has only been in the UK for around twenty years and its increasing popularity has brought it into the field of horse and rider.
Some conditions eased by Shiatsu include:
- Spookiness
- Anxiety
- Irritability
- Stiffness
- Muscular tension
- Sore backs
- Joint pain
