What is Zenthai Shiatsu?

Blood , Ki and nerves form the foundations of our bodies internal pathways.  Your local doctor may refer to arterial flow or nerve pathways whilst your alternative health practitioner may refer to ‘the river of life that ensures good health and vitality.’

When this is obstructed through emotional or physical trauma, postural imbalances or external invasion of pathogens, the natural healing mechanisms of our body is challenged and the ‘free flowing river’ often stagnates. The result is pain, low energy and a general loss of the feeling of well being. The body is needing support.

Zenthai shiatsu addresses the needs by drawing on the Traditional Energetic based systems of Zen Shiatsu, Traditional Thai Massage and the remediation techniques of Osteopathy. By the integration of the prime aspects of the modalities and the creation of a safe, awake and caring healing environment, Zenthai has evolved to be widely recognised as an effective structural and energetic form of therapy.

This is movement based therapy with a reputation of effective dealing with issues of the musculo-skeletal, digestive and nervous system.

Common conditions that are addressed include:

• lower back, neck and shoulder pain

• digestive complaints

• joint mobilisation

• energy depletion

• immune system

Briefly speaking, Zenthai draws on…

1. Zen shiatsu …Traditional Chinese medicine …acupuncture without needles ( includes cupping, moxabustion and lifestyle/food advice )

2. Traditional Thai massage ..releases muscular tension and energetic blockages

3. Osteopathic techniques…includes joint mobilisation , connective tissue patterns and fascia unwinding.

Each session is tailor made to the clients needs.

Zenthai Founder and author of ‘The Zen of Touch’ Gwyn Williams has spent 20 years plus traveling internationally and exploring various modalities of Structural and Energetic healing systems to be continually creating this evolving form of movement based therapy. Since 2014, Sally and Yuta have been working along side their mentor Gwyn here at the home base of Zenthai Shiatsu on the Sunshine Coast and in Bali. Together they have been exploring and developing Zenthai also as a movement therapy class which integrates yoga asana, functional movement and taoist/Qi practices.

Sally and Yuta are honoured to be a part of the expansion and forever evolution of this wonderful modality, running the Therapist Program in Melbourne, and it’s off branch yoga/movement practice “Zenthai Flow”.
