Shintai

Shintai means mind/body. It is an advanced system of shiatsu which aims to stimulate innate healing, life-force energy, through contacting deeper tissue levels in the body, including fascia, membranes, connective tissues and fluids. This very powerful but gentle system of healing incorporates soft tissue structural corrections, vertebral alignment, short leg correction, hip realignment, cranial manipulation, and advanced energy work - all with the aim of creating body and mind alignment. Many musculoskeletal problems, including back, neck and shoulder pain, arise from stress and trauma held in the membranous system which pull the body out of alignment. Such stress patterns can be released with Shintai, with consequent relief from discomfort.
