Overview

Zen Shiatsu is known for its numerous health benefits, particularly for the elderly. It helps improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation. The interactive nature of the session also encouraged social interaction, which is crucial for mental and emotional well-being.

During the session, Regina Nowotny not only demonstrated the movements and techniques of Zen Shiatsu but also interacted closely with the participants, guiding them through the process. The seniors were given the opportunity to learn and practice the movements on each other, fostering a sense of mutual support and collaboration. This hands-on approach allowed them to experience the benefits of Zen Shiatsu both as receivers and practitioners, enhancing their understanding and skills.

Outcomes

• Sustained improvements in physical flexibility, pain management, and overall stress reduction.

• Better mental health, reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness that are common among the elderly.
