Reiki is a form of energy work treatments. Reiki was developed in Japan. Reiki is composed from a Japanese name consisting of two words Rei and Ki meaning spiritually guided life energy. Reiki is a hands-on technique where very little pressure to no pressure is applied to a client's body. The therapist balances and restores the client's energy to help his or her body function optimally. In a Reiki treatment the client stays clothed and the therapist lays his/her hands in various positions on the client's body. This treatment is ideal for clients of any age and because of its gentleness can be applied to a client with any acute or chronic pain conditions. Receiving a reiki treatment is a very relaxing experience.
