Harmonizing the Body's Natural Vital Force (Ki)
Developed in Japan from traditional Chinese medicine (Anma), Shiatsu works on the principle that vital life energy (Ki) flows through continuous energy channels called meridians. When stress, poor posture, or emotional trauma block these pathways, physical pain and fatigue manifest.
At Aurevia Wellness & Spa in Andheri West, our trained Shiatsu practitioners apply steady, sustained finger and palm pressure to specific tsubo (acupoints) combined with gentle rotations and joint mobilization to restore fluid vitality.
"Shiatsu is performed without oils over comfortable clothing or light linen, making it ideal for those seeking deep holistic energy realignment and postural correction."
