Which Shiatsu styles are available in Switzerland?
Training in Shiatsu here in Switzerland generally goes back to Tenpeki Tamai, Takujiro Namikoshi and Shizuto Masunaga, all three of whom are among the most important representatives of this method. Tamai gave his name to this manual technique in 1919, while Namikoshi developed his own style based on the Western medical principles of chiropractic and the Far Eastern knowledge of energies. Masunaga added psychological aspects to the traditional health teachings and manual techniques and expanded the meridian teachings. This resulted in new Shiatsu techniques, which are still the most commonly used in Europe today.
