For the Shiatsu therapist any physical or psychological complaint is evidence that the flow of energy in the body has been disrupted. Shiatsu stimulates the body to re-establish this balance, and the receiver to address the root of the problem. For this reason, there are few dis-harmonies and discomforts that can't be improved upon through Shiatsu. Those that are particular suited are:
- Neck and shoulder pain and tension
- Back ache and pain
- Stress and Anxiety
- Fatigue and low energy levels
- Insomnia
- Muscular tension
- Headaches and Migraines
- IBS and digestive dysfunction
- Gynecological complaints
- Joint pain
- Sports injuries
- Productivity
- Breathing difficulties
