The benefits that the receiver can achieve with Zen-Shiatsu are numerous. It supports the immune system and balances the body's energy ( Ki ), thus preventing diseases.
According to C. Beresford-Cooke "Shiatsu is very effective, either alone or in combination with another treatment made, in conditions where emotional disturbances or stress is an underlying factor".
It has been found effective in dealing with:
– Relaxation and stress relief
– musculoskeletal pain/trauma
– digestive disorders
– insomnia
– allergies
– fibromyalgia
– carpal tunnel syndrome
– menstrual problems
In my practice, I've also had good responses with auto-immune diseases. For instance: Thyroid disfunction ( Hashimoto ) and symptoms of Multiple Scleroses.
