Canadian Shiatsu Society of BC created this development of shiatsu video to promote shiatsu therapy throughout the world. Shiatsu massage comes from Asia, Japan and treatment is very effective to loosen the tension in the muscles. When the therapist finds the knot, he presses and holds the pressure on the knot, then it gradually melts and disappears, which means your knots are no longer disturbing your muscle movement.
This is why Shiatsu massage therapy is different from other type of massage. Your relaxed muscles are no longer pulling your bones properly, which disrupts your alignment. Your cells become active in order to get more oxygen and nutrition. Shiatsu massage treatment improves your natural healing power and corrects the imbalances of your body.

A Shiatsu massage is not covered by MSP, but some private insurance companies might cover Shiatsu massage. Please ask your insurance company. Insurance covers very limited therapy, so if you have tried all the therapies under your insurance coverage, yet you still haven't solved your problem, come and see us!
Our Shiatsu massage is amazing, but you also need the right pillow to keep the good condition. If you are not getting this natural healing process properly, try our Japanese buckwheat pillow! It has also been suggested that a pillows surface should be 2-3 degrees lower than the head temperature. Excess heat from the head is transferred to the pillow and dispersed through the hollow buckwheat husks.

Keita is very professional, friendly, caring and extremely knowledgeable. I usually visit physiotherapy or/and massage therapy first, just because I have an insurance coverage for those, but I often ended up going to see him when they couldn't help my pain. When I had a bad sciatica pain 2 years ago & tried other therapies for over 6 months, nothing helped. However, Keita fixed it in 3 sessions. Amazing.

Just finished my 1.5 hour shiatsu massage, and I feel amazing. My body feels nicely aligned and my joints are moving so easily. I love how everything is explained before we start and then more explanations at the end of what I need to work on to help stay aligned. Can't recommend them enough. I'll definitely be making this a regular part of improving my health.

I have been going to Kiai Shiatsu for almost 2 years now and he is amazing/my hero! I first went to him when I had a sore and stiff lower back to the point I couldn't even bend over. One session with him and I finally had relief and could bend over without pain! I work out often and anytime I have issues with my lower back, shoulders or any sore muscles he loosens them up and realigns my posture! I highly recommend him for any muscle ailments you may have!

I first met Keita several years ago during one of my visits to Vancouver. He was working at the Japanese Shiatsu Clinic in North Vancouver. Recently, Kelowna has become a regular destination. I was excited to hear that Keita was practising in Kelowna and now have a treatment every time I am there. There isn’t a better Shiatsu Practitioner around and I highly recommend him. Most of the time I tell him I just want “a tune-up”. (Did I mention I live in Ontario?)
Shiatsu therapy is unlike other therapies. You either love it or hate it. I fell in love with it after my first treatment in 1999

I went in for my first treatment and was in really rough shape, but the treatment was gentle and so effective! I didn't experience any discomfort during the treatment and felt immediate relief with no aching or soreness after. I've gotten a lot of massage and chiropractic treatments before (having been in two car accidents in one year) and this is by far the best experience I've had to date. I'm looking forward to my next session!

I have had many different treatments for my neck and shoulder that did not come close to the release in my neck and shoulders from Kiai Shiatsu. The staff is very knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly. Prior to treatment there is a very detailed overview of the body, muscles and trigger points. Very informative. I also enjoyed the detailed discussion after the treatment. This discussion gave me an idea of what areas of my body I have to work on with stretches and more treatments. I would without hesitation recommend Kiai Massage to my colleagues and friends.

I am very happy with my experience at Kiai Shiatsu, and the result. Keita is very kind and concerned, and his techniques are excellent. I have had chronic shoulder pain that has not been resolved through physio nor chiropractic. After my first session with Keita, my shoulder pain was greatly relieved. I am continuing treatments with Keita to keep my shoulder relaxed and for general wellness. I highly recommend him.

I tried a 10 minute session at the Holistic fair...and was intrigued enough to try it again. My mid &upper back had been strained various ways & places for the last 3 months(starting with an "ohh that hurt" while on a 5 week vacation), and had 3 deep tissue massages trying to fix it. I have a physical job, and a great massage therapist, and normally am pain/strain free.
My first 30 minute session produced awesome results.. from stiff/tight and hurting...to much improved range of motion in my neck & shoulders..and feeling much more flexibility overall. Keita was surprised how tight my muscles were
