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. Rose has also been independently assessed by the Equine Shiatsu Assciation (tESA) and is an approved equine practitioner.
Shiatsu comes from the Far East and literally means 'finger pressure'
in Japanese. It is often described as originating from acupuncture, a Chinese 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.
