I came across Shiatsu by chance. Until a few months ago, I had never even heard of it. My neighbor \u2014 who had good experiences with Louis \u2014 pointed me toward Shiatsu as a promising alternative for relieving my physical discomfort. For the past ten years or so, I\u2019ve been increasingly affected by osteoarthritis in my neck, shoulders, back, and hands. Scientifically, there\u2019s still little known about this painful and progressive condition, and there are no established treatment plans to combat it. So when it comes to pain relief and slowing its progression, you\u2019re mostly left to your own devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As it turns out, that idea fits well with the core philosophy behind Shiatsu: The body as a self-regulating organism that can stimulate and heal its own blockages and functional issues. The better the flow within your body, the less discomfort you experience \u2014 and the more effective the healing process becomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Louis\u2019s massage focuses on clearing those blockages in the body\u2019s energy flow. He does this \u2014 and not exactly gently \u2014 by working intensively on specific pressure points (where waste products tend to obstruct circulation). Louis clears things out, and he does so in a pleasant atmosphere and with a good sense of humor. It\u2019s nothing more than that \u2014 but also nothing less. I always leave feeling tired, but pleasantly reset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve now been seeing Louis for about four months and I\u2019m convinced of the beneficial effects on my osteoarthritis. Shiatsu can\u2019t cure it, but it does help my body become self-regulating again, which makes my joints less painful and more flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Definitely recommended for anyone dealing with similar limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
