Shiatsu Therapy

Shiatsu therapy's origins are from Japan. It literally means finger pressure, pressing on meridian points and pathways of the body using palms, thumbs or fingers. In some cases elbows or even feet as in the case of Bare Foot Shiatsu. The process is quite rhythmic and very soothing bringing you to a state of deep calm and stillness. This is where a body is able to let go of deep tensions and process.

In a way, it resembles an acupuncture session as we discuss your symptoms. From your symptoms, I work out which organ systems are out of balance and start to plan out the treatment. This is where the similarity to acupuncture ends as no needles are used, having been replaced with pressing, palming and stretching just to name a few.

It works on many levels starting from physical muscles and organs, energetic right through to spiritual connection to your higher self. As such Shiatsu therapy is able to bring natural relief from:

Physical symptoms such as:

headaches,
neck pain,
shoulder pain,
lower back pain,
muscle pain,
heart palpitations,
and muscle tightness.

Organ disharmonies such as:
digestion problems,
sight weakness,
sinus congestion,
lack of energy,
insomnia,
fluid retention,

Emotional disharmonies such as:
anxiety,
depression,
low moods,
and many many others.

Shiatsu helps correct the balance in the disrupted or blocked energy flows. Organs work less because they are more efficient, thoughts are clear because the mind has appropriate resources available enabling you to experience life’s challenges with ease and far greater resilience.

Finally at the conclusion of your session we address diet via nutritional advice and lifestyle factors. Shiatsu is truly a holistic therapy that is effective and gentle.

Treatment is performed on a comfortable low mat while you are fully clothed.
