Holismos International School of Shiatsu has been active since 1996.Over the years, we have successfully trained dozens of shiatsu practitioners in Italy and other European countries. Our training course complies with the main European associations and federations. In recent years, we have taken our school to the next level, giving birth to an international training body. We believe that it is time for Shiatsu to take a quantum leap and we want this to be a distinguishing feature of our school.

Shiatsu is an art of Japanese origin that finds its natural completion in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is a body-mediated technique that represents a natural way to recreate the state of well-being and balance previously altered. The Shiatsu treatment that we offer in Varese lasts one hour, during which the client remains dressed.
The term Shiatsu has a literal definition that refers to the pressure (atsu) applied with the fingers (shi) , hands, elbows and knees on specific points (tsubo) of the body, with the aim of re-establishing the balance of energy (ki) along the meridians. This technique dates back to around the 20th century and is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which enhance the energetic aspect of the body.
Through the Shiatsu therapeutic massage, a beneficial effect is produced on the internal organs , improving the quality of life and the well-being of the person, both from a physical and emotional point of view. The Shiatsu treatment, in addition to being effective for all those functional syndromes affecting the osteo-muscular system , such as back pain, sciatica, cervicalgia and joint pain in general, is effective in bringing the person back to the right level of relaxation, improving the quality of sleep.
By working on the person's energy channels (the meridians of acupuncture), through Shiatsu therapy those internal functions are stimulated that, by giving an input to the organism, allow it to "self-recharge".
During this course, participants will learn to perform various basic movements and some simple sequences on the recipient placed in prone and supine positions.
Each student will gradually develop, through specific exercises and relaxation techniques, a different awareness and perception; they will become familiar with some elementary theoretical notions of Traditional Chinese Medicine, leaving in-depth study to be the prerogative of an eventual continuation of their studies.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to perform a complete treatment, with family and/or friends, capable of bringing a sense of psychophysical relaxation and general well-being.
Participants will receive a CERTIFICATE OF PARTICIPATION.
