Shiatsu
Shiatsu is an holistic form of healing bodywork from Japan. It is extremely relaxing to receive, relieving the body of physical and emotional tension.
The practitioner skilfully uses her bodyweight to apply gentle or deep pressure with her palms, fingers and thumbs. A combination of stretches and rotations are also used to increase energy flow. It has the added advantage that the client has no need to remove their clothes for the treatment.

What to expect from shiatsu.
At the first consultation a detailed case history will be taken to develop a complete picture of your health. For a treatment wear loose, comfortable clothing. The session usually takes place on a futon at floor level, although it is possible to receive Shiatsu sitting on a chair if you are unable to lie down comfortably.
Please allow 1½ hours for the initial diagnosis and treatment. Subsequent treatments are approximately one hour.
