Japanese Shiatsu.
指圧
Ancient Japanese art of touch communication Shiatsu, or “Finger Pressure” is a Traditional Japanese Massage Therapy (Acupressure) which uses physical pressure and meridian stretches to balance a person’s energy flow and strengthen their vital organs. It is the only form of massage based on 3000 years of accumulated medical wisdom.
One outstanding feature of Shiatsu is “diagnosis and treatment together”; meaning that the practitioner uses information obtained from the body through his or her hands to detect imbalances then immediately treats them.
Shiatsu is also very effective at preventing disease by addressing imbalances before they manifest as illnesses. It has been shown to benefit the immune system, nervous system, circulatory system, hormonal system, bones and muscles. Traditional Japanese Shiatsu at Yugen helps you to create the optimal condition to recharge your energies for work, for leisure and for healing.

Testimonial
“I can warmly recommend Minoru of Yugen clinic.
Minoru’s unique approach to shiatsu massage combined with experience as a sports massage therapist was instrumental in the healing of an acute shoulder injury which resulted in shoulder and neck pain. My chronic headache benefited immensely from his skilled approach.
As a pain physician and a patient I believe his personality, skills and treatment concept have a calming, healing effect which help manage both acute and chronic pain.
I cannot thank Minoru enough for bringing major improvement to my quality of life by helping manage my pain.”
