Shiatsu considers the human being as a multifunctional system, composed of energetic, psychic and physical elements in a condition of constant interdependence, where the absence of health, and therefore of well-being, is the concrete and perceptible expression of the loss of energy balance or "disharmony". The disharmony, and the consequent discomfort of the body and mind, is caused by an internal energetic imbalance which is mainly expressed in the occlusion of the sliding meridian, with consequent further damage to the organ or bowel connected to the meridian itself.
Shiatsu, practiced correctly, is effective because it allows you to "free" the channels where vital energy flows, allowing better circulation of the energy itself, restoring the functions that allow the body to regain balance and harmony with himself and with the surrounding environment.
