PSYCHOSOMATIC PAIN:
In Shiatsu, psychosomatic pain is not an isolated symptom: it is the manifestation of an energetic disharmony between emotion, organ, and meridian.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body and emotions are not separate.
Every emotional state immediately alters the movement of Qi (vital energy).
When emotion is fluid, Qi flows;
When emotion is repressed, Qi stagnates;
When Qi stagnates, tension and pain appear.
This is how psychosomatic pain arises, not in the muscle, but in the energy that stops moving.
First, something becomes blocked internally, then the energy meridian contracts, and finally, the body becomes constricted.
Three specific energetic transitions:
1. Emotional disturbance;
2. Qi blockage in the meridian;
3. Somatic manifestation in the tissues.
From a palpation perspective, the body clearly manifests not with structural rigidity, but with energetic tension.
• Diffuse, but not structural, stiffness;
• Migratory pain;
• Reactive points along the meridian;
• Elastic, not fibrous, tension;
• Variation with breathing and emotions;
• Hypersensitivity to deep pressure;
• Immediate relief upon touch.
This is because the problem lies not in the tissue itself, but in the underlying energetic flow.
In these cases, the body is not asking for muscle relaxation, but rather for the Qi circulation to be reactivated.
The most frequent imbalances in psychosomatic pain are:
Liver Qi stagnation
→ Cervical tension;
→ Trapezius stiffness;
→ Temporal headache;
→ Repressed anger.
Kidney deficiency with chronic fear
→ Lower back pain;
→ Leg weakness;
→ Sacral stiffness;
→ Deep insecurity.
Lung and large intestine obstruction
→ Chest tightness;
→ Shortness of breath;
→ Shoulder pain;
→ Difficulty relaxing.
Cardiac stasis with Shen agitation
→ High tension in the neck;
→ Clenched jaw;
→ Insomnia;
→ Generalized pain without apparent cause.
In Shiatsu treatment, the goal is not only to treat the painful area but also to open the involved energy channel.
First, we work at a distance, then we follow the meridian, and only then do we treat the area where the pain originates.
Technical principles of treatment:
• First, work at a distance along the meridian;
• Initially, avoid treating the painful area;
• Encourage breathing during pressure application;
• Apply progressive and deep pressure;
• Maintain contact until the tissue responds;
• Observe emotional micro-reactions;
• Always rebalance the Hara energy center.
Operational Sequence:
1. Listening and energetic assessment of the Hara;
2. Identification of a stagnant meridian;
3. Work on distal points;
4. Complete opening of the meridian;
5. Work on the symptomatic point;
6. Global integration.
When pain is psychosomatic, the body transforms under the hands:
The point changes, the pain shifts, breathing deepens, the tissue warms, a sudden release occurs, an emotion arises, and a feeling of emptiness appears.
It is not just about releasing muscular tension, it is about unblocking the Qi associated with the repressed emotion.
For this reason, the treatment of psychosomatic pain should not be aggressive,
but slow, deep, and continuous.
Shiatsu does not force.
Shiatsu listens.
Shiatsu accompanies.
Since psychosomatic pain should not be broken, it should be held… until it dissolves. And when Qi flows again, the body no longer needs to express itself through pain.

RETURNING TO CONTACT: In an age of constant connection, paradoxically, a silent need is growing: the need for real contact. We live immersed in screens, notifications, and mediated relationships—efficient, but often devoid of physicality, warmth, and presence. Digital technology has expanded the possibilities of communication, but it has also diminished the sensory experience of encounter, leaving many people with a pervasive sense of distance and loneliness.
The body, however, has not been digitized: it continues to speak an ancestral language of proximity, rhythm, and shared breath. Physical contact is not a luxury or an emotional accessory: it is a deep, biological, and relational need. Consciously touching and being touched regulates the nervous system, restores security, and creates a sense of belonging. Without this nourishment, even the most “connected” relationships risk becoming abstract.
In this context, practices like Shiatsu acquire a value that transcends individual well-being. Shiatsu is an encounter between two people in silence, through listening and touch.
It’s not a mechanical gesture, but a profound communication that flows from the hands to the body, from the body to the person. In an impersonal world, it offers a radically human experience: someone who is present, who listens, who touches with attention and respect. Returning to touch doesn’t mean rejecting the digital world, but rather rebalancing it. It means remembering that we are bodies before profiles, relationships before networks. And that, sometimes, to feel truly seen, a carefully placed hand is enough.
