Carl Dubitsky
This book shifts the practice of shiatsu from the floor to the massage table - increasing the comfort of the patient, conserving the energy of the therapist and augmenting the effects of the treatment. Skilfully integrating current Western scientific research with traditional energetic concepts and techniques of shiatsu, Carl Dubitsky provides a new perspective on this ancient healing art. His analysis of the muscular anatomy of the points and pathways is unique in Western literature, making shiatsu techniques more accessible and comprehensive to professionals and bodyworkers of all schools. Bodywork Shiatsu grounds its discussion of shiatsu in a thorough review of Asian medical theory, explaining the concepts of yin and yang, the five elements and the flow of life energy, qi, along with the meridians of the body. The heart of the book contains detailed instructions in applying shiatsu to the massage table - from basic finger technique to choosing equipment.
