What is Equine Shiatsu? |
 Shiatsu literally means "finger pressure" and is based on the concepts of traditional oriental medicine, similar to acupuncture theory. The basic techniques involve pressure with palms, fingers and thumbs, along with rotations and stretches of legs, neck and tail. This stimulates the body's own self-healing through increased blood circulation, movement of the lymphatic fluid and activating the autonomic nervous system.Horses particularly enjoy shiatsu as "touch" is a natural language for them. |
