What Is Shiatsu?
Animal Shiatsu is an energy discipline of Japanese origin meaning finger (Shi) pressure (Atsu). It uses touch pressure to stimulate points and areas across the entire body in order to establish the free flow of energy. The immune system is strengthened and the body's natural defenses as well as overall health are optimized.
This practice helps your animal on a physical, mental, emotional, and energetic level.
