Life is a constantly changing process and in order to stay healthy we need to adapt continually to the changes occurring, both inside the body and out.
If we do not adapt, the body/mind starts to become out of balance and illness starts to manifest.
Shiatsu supports the process of change, it works directly with the ki in order to restore balance.
