There is no limitation of ages of the youngest
and the oldest. People of any ages can have Shiatsu treatment.
Many Japanese people take it for granted that old people take
Shiatsu treatment, however, young people in their twenties or
even teenagers come and visit us for Shiatsu session and the number
of the young patients has been increased in these years. There
are some cases to give Shiatsu treatment for small children like
a kindergartner. Lately the number of the children who are suffered
from atopy and allergies has been increased remarkablly. Students
of high school ages have severe stiffness in the shoulder and
the back pains caused by strong stress from too many works for
preparing for examinations. Also, because of the development
of technology, modern children have many symptoms caused by tired
and dried eyes. Playing T.V. games and computers for a long time
affects upon their body conditions. So there are many children
coming and visiting for Shiatsu treatment. For the first time,
they come together with their parents, but they come alone when
they get to used to having a Shiatsu treatment.
