The Focus in a Shiatsu Treatment

By Wilfried Rappenecker

“Shiatsu offers an extraordinary range of possibilities for working with a client. At the same time, interesting - and even fascinating - moments of contact will continually arise during a treatment. Even experienced professionals may therefore become easily lost in a treatment and move without clear guidance from one moment to the next. Afterwards, everything may appear somewhat nebulous; you don’t know exactly what you have done, even if the treatment felt good.

It is more meaningful, however, and also more effective if, at the end of a treatment, you know why you have worked with a particular area. To achieve this requires an overview of what you are doing, and how this has an effect on what changes in the treatment. This overview can be achieved by working with a clear topic and a distinct focus.

The focus (i.e. topic) is the point of interest, where to learn something essential about the client’s situation, and where to monitor the treatment effects. The focus also acts like an anchor, to which return again and again, if necessary, from which to start new when not quite sure which course the treatment should take. Last but not least, a focus facilitates treatments that are not only shorter but also more effective.

The clarity of a treatment hinges on a clear focus – and this has a significant influence on the treatment effect.”
