What is Shiatsu?
The Art of Touching
Shiatsu is a Japanese form of bodywork and means
“finger pressure“.
Like acupuncture, shiatsu is based on the holistic system of Traditional Chinese
Medicine , where illness is thought to result from imbalances in the natural flow of energy. It involves using thumbs, palms, elbows and knees to apply light pressure in a continuous rhythmic sequence over the entire body. It also includes stretching and rotations.
Shiatsu is performed lying on a comfortable futon on the floor or alternatively in a sitting position. Clients are fully clothed, preferably wearing loose comfortable clothing.
How can Shiatsu help you ?
Shiatsu supports the body’s natural selfhealing powers . It enhances quality of life by stimulating physical, emotional and mental wellbeing and vitality.
Shiatsu is suitable for all ages and is effective in the relief of a variety of ailments including:
any form of stress and tension

indigestion

Many pregnant women and those experiencing fertility issues or going through menopause have benefited from
