How Shiatsu Supports the Nervous System
Stress can keep the body stuck in fight or flight. Shiatsu supports the parasympathetic nervous system, often called rest and digest. When the body shifts into this restorative state, clients may experience relief in both physical tension and emotional overwhelm.
