Mihael Mamychshvili--Angel Hands Shiatsu
Shiatsu Therapy can be given on a massage table or a Japanese floor futon. The recipient remains fully clothed during treatments. The skilled practitioner begins with an initial physical assessment then using finger pressure along the body’s meridian; relaxes muscles and improves energy and blood flow. Shiatsu Therapy uses a combination of massage, stretches, Sotai Therapy, and energy rebalancing to affect the body on a physical and emotional level. The body and mind thus heals itself and returns to its natural state. As a result, Shiatsu Therapy is a powerful method to address and heal a multitude of illnesses.
