Shiatsu Therapy is a traditional hands-on healing therapy originating from Japan. Touch, stretches and acupressure points are used to strengthen the body’s natural ability to heal and balance itself.
Shiatsu works on the whole person – physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual – and seeks to address the root causes rather than simply the symptoms.
Unblocking and balancing the body’s natural energy helps the mind and body to relax, diminishes pain, increases vitality and can promote healing. Shiatsu can be beneficial in helping you cope with a wide range of conditions or simply enjoyed for deep relaxation and to increase your sense of well-being.
MORE ABOUT SHIATSU
What sort of health conditions can shiatsu help me with?
Shiatsu can help encourage relaxation, improve mood, alleviate both physical and psychological symptoms of stress, aid sleep, relieve tension and boost energy levels. Regular Shiatsu treatments can help prevent the build up of stress in daily life, which in turn restores good health.
How many appointments will I need before I feel any benefits?
This can vary. Most people will feel, at the very least, more relaxed after just one treatment. However, deep-seated issues are likely to take longer. At your first appointment we will assess your overall state of health and well-being and develop a short- or long-term programme of treatment tailored to your individual needs. Many people choose to have Shiatsu treatments on a regular basis to help maintain a healthy body and a peaceful state of mind.
Is shiatsu suitable for anyone?
Yes, Shiatsu is suitable for all.
What do I need to wear?
You will remain fully clothed, so please wear loose comfortable clothing and bring a clean pair of socks. Please do not eat a heavy meal or drink alcohol before your treatment.
