Equine Shiatsu

What is shiatsu?

Shiatsu was developed more than 5,000 years ago in Asia.  Although sharing principles of acupuncture, no needles are used.  Instead it's based on finger pressure applied acupressure points, which gently stimulate the natural healing ability of the body. In Shiatsu there are 12 meridians, each of these has a powerful effect on the  horses health.  The meridian are 'paired' with each other, they are paired because one is the Yin and the other the Yang, buy working each pair together you can improve the results of each one separately.  This is because if one sister meridian had an energy excess the other will show a deficiency in energy.  By stimulating both it can alleviate the imbalance. 

It's relatively new in treating horses - who are the main animal to benefit.  Shiatsu is based on communication and physical contact - touch being an aspect that horses understand very well.  It can help the following:
