Reasons to use naturopathy in Toronto

Shiatsu is one of the key naturopathic techniques that aim to relax our body and optimize our physical performance. The origins of Shiatsu can be traced in Japan and it has really spread to the whole world since the 1970s. Now even Canada has embraced the technique, with many qualified doctors in offering Naturopath in Toronto. The literal meaning of the word is “finger pressure”. The basic premise of the technique is to put pressure on certain points in the body in order to achieve the stimulation required to relieve them of the pain. These points include elbows, knees, feet and thumbs etc. Stretching the limbs is also used as a part of this treatment.

Shiatsu believes that the body needs to be in a good balance and in touch with the nature around us. Our bodies are made of energy called Qi, which needs to be managed. If it is blocked, it causes suffering in more than a few ways. That is when it becomes necessary to get the balance right and let the energy flow in its natural way.

The meridian points are the key to doing that, and Shiatsu aims to realign them in order to let the Qi heal the body.  Especially for long-term sufferers of body pain, visiting a Toronto naturopathy center could be the best option. The pressure on the meridians helps the immune system and the nervous system perform their functions in a much relaxed way. The circulatory system is also restored to perform better and more efficiently.
