Zen Shiatsu in Fira
Also known as Acupressure, the Japanese term Shiatsu translates as “finger pressure” but similar to Thai Massage in practice - hands, knees, elbows or even feet are used by the practitioner, to apply gentle pressure to the body.
Shiatsu is based on the principle that energy (Qi) runs through the meridians which are said to govern the internal organs and our entire metabolism (Trad. Chinese Medicine). The pressure is placed at precisely located points on the meridian lines of the body through which energy flows.
Applying pressure on the points has the effect of balancing that energy to help maintain or restore the body natural vitality, working on the principle that depleted energy requires toning to give relief whereas excess energy needs sedating. In addition to localized pressure points, Shiatsu can also involve stretching and manipulations. It is performed with the recipient dressed in loose, comfortable clothing, on the floor with a mat or futon.
Treatments can help the young or old, active or sedentary and the method is claimed to help conditions as varied as·

- allergies and asthma
- anxiety, depression, insomnia, headaches and migraines

(Tradional) Thai Massage “Nuad Borarn" in Fira
A Traditional Thai Massage session bears little resemblance to Western massage work. Oil is not needed. The recipient is dressed in loose comfortable clothing. The session is performed in a quiet meditative atmosphere on a mat on the floor.
This enables the practitioner to use graceful whole body movements and even pressure during the session. The recipient and practitioner work together with conscious awareness of the breath, creating what appears more like a meditative yogic dance than merely a form of bodywork. The energies of both the giver and receiver are amplified, and both receive benefits from the stretches and passive rocking movements.
During the session, the practitioner utilizes his thumbs, fingers, hands, elbows, knees and feet, at precisely located points on the Shen lines of the body through which energy (Chi) flows, to manipulate and stimulate the body.

· Increases flexibility and range of movement
· Relieves fatigue, swollen limbs, painful joints and headaches
· Stimulates internal organs, eliminates muscle pain and muscle spasms, improves postural alignment
