ShinTai: Life Force Recovery Shin Tai is a highly effective bodywork modality developed from the classical Shiatsu system by Saul Goodman. Shin Tai works with the primary information system of the body, the Governing Vessel (GV) and the Conception Vessel (CV) meridians and allows the practitioner to access the receiver’s condition on a deeper level with greater effect and efficiency. GV and CV are the two primary meridians out of which the 12 specialized meridians developed. GV& CV network directs the physical, emotional and mental development of an individual. Reestablishing the free flow of this system is a crucial step for optimum coordination of all physiological processes of the body and the recovery of health. The alignment of the spinal column and its surrounding tissues - muscles and fascia, is intimately connected with GV function.As coordination of the dense and softer tissues of the spine returns to the body; the self healing and self regulatory capacity of the body/mind increases, resulting in higher energy and more productive living. Shin Tai incorporates shiatsu, craniosacral, fascial, and structural alignment techniques into one comprehensive way of working with the body. As a result of this treatment, clients experience: Increased spinal mobility increased shoulder girdle mobility - scapula, and shoulder joints. greater thoracic capacity, deeper and easier breathing easier movement overall - in the hip structure, sacrum, lower back.
