THE BELGIAN SHIATSU FEDERATION
We aim to make shiatsu known to a wide audience
and to train practitioners in this art or profession
What is Shiatsu?
Shi-atsu, Japanese for 'finger-pressure', can briefly be described as the Japanese style of acupressure. In reality it is much more than that!
The BSF is an independent, professional, national federation. We help people in Belgium to gain access to high quality Shiatsu as a path to inner freedom, choice and holistic health.
As a federation we unite qualified shiatsu practitioners, shiatsu teachers and shiatsu centres. We support and encourage our members to develop their practice and pursue high professionalism and integrity.
Our main goals are: An increased visibility of Shiatsu in Belgium, the official recognition of Shiatsu as a fully-fledged profession and an organisation that is carried and supported by all members.
HUMAN SHIATSU
Shiatsu is a Japanese form of bodywork that consists of applying pressure with thumbs, fingers and palms. Shi-atsu literally means finger pressure. The origin of Shiatsu comes from the Traditional Eastern medicine that has its roots in China and Japan.
