Shiatsu Shin Tai is a protocol for life force recovery that combines elements of Shiatsu and Shin Tai into a comprehensive therapy for body, mind, and spirit.

Life force recovery addresses the connection of a person's personal resources of their body, mind, and spirit. The four most common treatment results are: an increase in will, clearer thinking, less physical pain, and the ability to find more value in what you have already obtained in life. Unlike traditional Shiatsu, Shiatsu Shin Tai synthesizes Eastern and Western healing concepts to restore vitality, purpose, and spiritual growth.

Shin Tai means "source body", and addresses the body's subtle energy memory system to heal the accumulated energetic effects of stress, trauma, and other conditions.

Using acupressure, structural correction, fascia release, joint articulation, and meridian balancing, Shin Tai comprehensively treats the magnetic energy system (' Ki ' in Japanese theory) and makes the appropriate corrections to the whole system, which facilitates transformation and balance. Shiatsu Shin Tai is very gentle by nature, yet dramatic in effect. The practitioner may also use gentle stretching of the limbs and rotation of the joints, to achieve the desired results.
