Shiatsu



The Japanese word Shiatsu literally translates as finger pressure. The Shiatsu practitioner uses thumbs, fingers, palms, elbows, knees, feet and stretching techniques to stimulate and balance the same meridian system of energy flow as is used in Acupuncture.


On a more subtle level
Shiatsu allows the receiver to relax deeply and get in touch with their own body's healing abilities.


Shiatsu can be helpful in very many conditions including:-

 

Stress, tension, depression, fatigue, insomnia

ME, PMT, headaches, migraine

Sports injuries, back pain and stiffness, sciatica, neck and shoulder problems

Digestive, respiratory & circulatory problems, etc. etc.


Shiatsu can often relieve specific complaints but, above all, it helps to maintain optimum health, bringing relaxation and a feeling of well-being and can thus be used preventively enabling people to live their lives to the full and counter the effect of everyday stress.


Treatments are given on a mat or futon on the floor. The receiver remains fully clothed and should wear warm, loose and comfortable clothing such as a track suit.


The number of treatments required varies according to the condition and, following successful treatment, a maintenance programme of regular
Shiatsu should always be considered
