Gentle, seated and very effective exercise, Shibashi, is a group of 18 movements. (Shibashi is Mandarin Chinese for 18 movements.) Each movement is repeated. It is so simple, you can do it the first time you see it.
It is designed to improve flexibility, reduce stress and promote well-being. It can be done standing or sitting. Wear comfortable clothes and slip-ons, slippers or similar.
The best seat for seated Shibashi is a sturdy, stable stool or dining chair. You need to be able to move your arms freely and your feet a bit. Ideally, the stool or chair should be a height that allows you to stand with ease if you choose to stand.
