What is Shiatsu?

	a complementary therapy originating in Japan over 100 years ago.
	adapted for use on horses some 25 years ago by the late Pamela Hannay.
	the theory surrounding shiatsu is similar to that of acupuncture and acupressure.
	like these therapies, shiatsu influences the meridian (or energetic) system within the body.
	by restoring balance within this system, a multitude of physical and emotional problems are alleviated.
A trained eye and trained hands will be able to identify imbalances within the meridian system as well as picking up on areas of physical tightness, stiffness or weakness. A wide variety of pressure, rotation and stretching techniques are then used to help resolve these problems.
