Meridian Dehnübungen

Masunaga, the founder of the globally recognized Zen Shiatsu, developed the meridian stretching exercises based on traditional Eastern methods and created a comprehensive self-help exercise system. This system is also suitable for therapists who work with body energies, such as Shiatsu practitioners, body psychotherapists, or physiotherapists, as well as for athletes and sports therapists.

Unlike Western exercise systems, which focus on merely mimicking movements or controlling specific body parts, this approach emphasizes moving the body as a whole in a way that feels natural. This aligns movement, breathing, and imagination. While the exercises are associated with specific meridian energies, they always impact the entire person and provide benefits for both body and mind. They promote relaxation, flexibility, and vitality while enhancing endurance and health. Special series of stretching exercises can effectively address the dynamics of various ailments and alleviate them. Masunaga offers a wealth of insights on this.
