Welcome   

Shiatsu and Kappo (Active Method) are traditional bodywork systems from Japan. They enhance the body`s own inherent natural healing ability in a safe, respectful way.
These methods can benefit a wide range of health conditions including muscle and joint pain, back and neck pain, sciatica and high blood pressure. The Kappo and Shiatsu methods are based on a knowledge of modern anatomy and physiology combined with traditional Japanese theory and technique.
The Shiatsu done at Active Method Ireland is the original Namikoshi style, the only Shiatsu style in Japan that is licensed by the Japanese health ministry.
Kappo Active Method bodywork has a long history in Japan, going back to the feudal times of the 16th century and earlier. The Usui style of Kappo has never been practised outside of Japan before and is making its debut in Europe here at Active Method Ireland.
Whether you need a treatment simply for relaxation or for a health condition shiatsu and kappo can help you out.
