"I am an avid runner and as such run at least 25km/wk. Putting that kind of distance in every week can be hard on the knees, back and muscles so it was no surprise when my left knee began to ache after every run. The pain got to the point where it was difficult walk up and down stairs. I needed relief so I contacted Eva at Active Shiatsu for help. After one treatment of Shiatsu massage my knee was feeling better and with her advice on how to maintain a healthy running routine through stretching and strength training the pain has not returned. Thank you!"

"I highly recommend this shiatsu clinic."

4worldlovers:
In Japan today, Shiatsu functions as an integral part of the national health system. Therapists must complete three years (over 2,100 hours) of full time study at an accredited college, where they obtain a firm grounding in the foundations of both Western and Eastern medicine in addition to developing their manual skills. On completion of the program, they must pass a national government exam in order to obtain official certification as an Anma, Massage, and Shiatsu Therapist. Learn more..

4worldlovers:
Shiatsu evolved from traditional Japanese massage, or “Anma” in the early years of the 20th Century. It distinguished itself from other manual therapies of the time by integrating traditional eastern theory with western anatomy and physiology. Today, it is a recognized and regulated form of therapy in Japan.

A shiatsu therapist applies firm pressure that is appropriate for the needs of each client, often incorporating stretches that release tension in the joints. Many shiatsu therapists understand that underlying all of the functions of the body are the channels of energy flow commonly known as meridians. Balancing the excesses and deficiencies of the energy, or “qi” flow encourages homeostatic mechanisms to assist in the self regulation of the body and mind. This fundamental aspect of the treatment is undertaken after a careful assessment of the patterns of qi flow in the body by way of the four traditional methods: observation, asking, listening, palpation.

A shiatsu treatment typically treats the whole body as well as symptomatic areas, making it a holistic form of energetic bodywork.

Shin So Shiatsu is a further evolution of meridian based shiatsu that delves more deeply into the system’s energy matrix. Developed by Master Tetsuro Saito, Canada’s “Father of Shiatsu” Shin So Shiatsu explores the deeper systems of energy in the body by way of a precise and subtle diagnostic approach. Over more than 40 years of study and experience of shiatsu and ongoing developments in Japanese acupuncture, Saito has made it possible for shiatsu therapists to work with a wider range of conditions with greater success.

You will receive your treatment on a futon on the floor or a massage table, depending on the therapist. Wear loose comfortable clothing for comfort, as stretches are usually part of a treatment. Arrive a few minutes early to fill out the history form. The treatment will begin with a review of the information provided and a discussion of your heath status and concerns. Your treatment generally consists of comfortable pressure using hand and thumbs and sometimes elbows to release tension and relieve pain by enabling a freer flow of qi. Your therapist will adjust the pressure according to the feedback they receive from your body and energy system. Stretches are usually included to help mobilize joints and improve flexibility.

At the end of the treatment, our clients report feeling more relaxed and lighter, and experience less pain. It is a good idea to relax and avoid strenuous activities. Changes can be noted for 24 to 48 hours following a treatment. We advise you to drink more water, as toxins and lactic acid can be released from the tissues and water helps to flush them through your system, avoiding discomfort.

Registered Shiatsu Therapists (RSTs) are covered by some Green Shield plans, and other companies have coverage as well, so it is best to check with your provider.

Yes. Shiatsu can be helpful for normal symptoms of pregnancy, and to help regulate qi and body functions in preparation for delivery. Postpartum, treatments help to restore balance and improve energy.

"Joni is amazingly empathetic and generous in her shiatsu treatments."

Business: Crone Yoga - Intuitive trauma informed Yoga, Shiatsu & Massage for empowered women 40+ located in East Vancouver. Claim the Crone - She's a badass.

4worldlovers: Crone yoga is about wisdom not perfection. It’s not anti-aging it’s aging with embodied sensitivity. We have limitless capacity to become more aware of our centre, find our length and strength, cultivate strong chi, learn to get radically present, move more deeply into our bodies and our interconnection with the world. These capacities are heightened as we age. It's not that 50 is the new 40, it's that fifty is amazing. Once we shake off the distraction of estrogen we can get down to our real work.

As we breath and move our bodies we learn about our boundaries, our edges, our resistance and our perseverance. Subtle body and physical body unify and we learn how to regulate our reactivity as we land gently into the sweet heart of Yoga practice. The reason we study breath and work at our asana is simply so that we can sit upright comfortably and meditate.
