We teach the history of shiatsu, the basis of the treatment, and the ways to put pressure on various parts of the body. In addition to the basic ways to apply pressure, we teach other massage skills that can be used in everyday life, which will help you learn the feel of shiatsu.

important areas when you are on your stomach

We explain in detail. Your fingers feel muscles and you continuously make pressure with fingers vertically to the body while pressing down with your weight. Please try to keep a beautiful posture.

HISTORY

Shiatsu is a massage therapy unique to Japan. It developed from Anma massage around 700

Anma massage being given by several people, even with feet (around 1700)

A blind person giving treatment (around 1800)

Giving Anma massage with elbows and hands

Procedural textbooks of shiatsu were published around 1700, and then its practice spread

Currently, to be a shiatsu therapist requires becoming nationally qualified in Japan. Those who want to be a shiatsu therapist go to school to learn about skills and courses, and then they have to pass a national exam. All the courses and exams are conducted in Japanese; therefore, it is difficult for foreigners to learn shiatsu in Japan.

Due to these circumstances, we offer a place where foreign people can experience shiatsu in Japan. When you go back to your country, please give treatment to your friends. They will be surprised.
