About Shiatsu in Cattolica
Shiatsu in Cattolica: what it is and who it is for
Shiatsu is one of the foundations of my training: I began practicing it in the early 2000s, training in the Namikoshi approach, and it remains a technique I offer to those who specifically seek it or to those who want a different type of work compared to a more sports-oriented approach.
It is a treatment based on pressure applied with the hands along the body, useful for helping release tension, promoting a general sense of comfort, and offering a moment of pause from everyday stress.
