Equipoise Shiatsu is a complementary therapy available for people and/or
horses and operates from Colchester, Essex. Equipoise Shiatsu is run by Rose Brown, who trained and qualified with
the British School of Shiatsu-Do and is registered as an approved practitioner with The Shiatsu Society.
Shiatsu is a therapy in its own right and has been practiced in the Far East for the past 4,000 years. It is often described as originating from acupuncture, a therapy in existence for
10,000 years – stone needles have been found at Neolithic sites dating from 8,000 BC.
Shiatsu uses a combination of Five Element, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Zen theories. The practitioner accesses Qi (Prana in Ayurvedic medicine) within the bodies’ meridians by using
touch in the form of massage, stretching, physiotherapy techniques and pressure.
