A comprehensive instructional video on the theory and techniques of applying a full-body, Zen Shiatsu massage. Trained in the lineage of masters Shizuto Masunaga and Tokijiro Namikoshi, master Shiatsu therapist, Byron Barth, L.Ac., takes the viewer, step-by-step, through the entire process, beginning with the history of Shiatsu, centering, meridian stretches, Hara diagnosis and balancing, followed by more than 2-hours devoted to the intricate study and fine art of Zen Shiatsu massage. Detailed graphic overlays show all relevant meridians and pressure points, as Byron explains traditional Chinese medical theory, correct posture, lean-on pressure, transitions, palming, thumbing, and advanced hand, elbow and knee techniques.
Great Shiatsu learning materialReviewed by FeelinGood, 2009-12-25
This DVD is very professional and very easy to follow.
The music and background are beautiful and give me peace of
mind.
As a massage therapy student, it was very helpful to learn
shiatsu.
I believe this DVD is good for both beginners and
professionals.
This is the best DVD/video for massage therapy for me so far.
I recommend this DVD for people who want to learn shiatsu.
This one is the BestReviewed by Marta B, 2009-10-08
As students of massage therapy, we are contantly in search of clear presentation. Zen Shiatsu has really become the gold standard for me. This video is so professioanal, so clear, and really captures the simple beauty of Shiatsu massage while at the same time gently introducing the various subtle and more complex points for the advancing practitioner. The video and sound quality, the music and the background, and the instructors voice and instruction really make this the essential DVD for my professioanl library. It's a good reference, it's soothing just to watch, and it's perfect for the student.
Awesome !!!Reviewed by Monkey Business, 2008-06-07
This is an extremely well done presentation on shiatsu. I am a licensed acupuncturist and use these techniques on a table that I lower a little bit more than when doing acupuncture(although I tend to mix them together using both acupuncture and shiatsu). At least 90% of the material here will work on the table. I also transcribed the entire DVD as a way to get it into my brain a little more. In sum, this presentation has transformed my acupuncture work in a very positive way .
