What is Shiatsu?
Shiatsu is a healing art that has its origins in Chinese medicine and traditional massage techniques of Japan.

The basis of Shiatsu is that vital energy (called Ki in Japanese) flows throughout the body in a series of channels called meridians. For many different reasons Ki can stop flowing freely and can produce a range of common ailments and symptoms.

 

Considering your state of health, the symptoms being experienced and also your general energy levels, a variety of techniques are used to improve the energy flow. These include gentle holding, pressing with palms and thumbs on the meridians, or more dynamic stretches and rotations.

 

As the quality of Ki changes, the symptoms associated with a lack of flow will gradually improve.

 

Shiatsu is a therapy that works on the individual as a complete being, not just the physical body but also on the emotional and mental level.

 

What to expect during a treatment

 

Each session will last about one hour and will include a short consultation covering current health and lifestyle issues.

 

The shiatsu session takes place on a padded mat or futon at floor level, although it is possible to receive shiatsu seated.

 

It is important to wear warm comfortable clothes that do not restrict movement, such as jogging pants, leggings, or loose trousers with a sweatshirt top.
