Top Books Movement Shiatsu MVS Was developed by Bill Palmer as a synthesis of Oriental Medicine, Developmental Movement Therapy and Body Based Psychotherapy.
Unbalanced posture can lead to structural weakness, bad circulation and physical disease.
But also our posture mirrors how we feel emotionally and how we cope with life issues. Movement Shiatsu is based on the theory of how posture develops in early life and how it is linked to the development of personality. At first, it works to balance the muscles, re-align the skeleton and strengthen the functions of the organs and nervous system. For people who want to go further, it then helps the deep postural patterns to change by stimulating natural developmental processes through guided movement, awareness exercises and Shiatsu. Counselling is an integral part of the therapy because this process of postural change challenges our feeling about ourselves.
