Further information
Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese meridian therapy massage, which stems from the same ancient oriental principles as acupuncture, but without needles! Studies have shown that shiatsu is a safe therapy that improves health and wellbeing. It can help with the management of a variety of conditions, from specific injuries through to more general symptoms of poor health. Treatments are 1 hour
Shiatsu can be effective in the management of:
• Back pain, neck pain & whiplash
• Joint pain & stiffness
• Depression or low self esteem
• Sports injuries
• Digestive problems
• Headaches
• Fatigue & burnout
• Menstrual problems
• Fertility and pregnancy
The practitioner uses acupressure, massage techniques & gentle stretching to relieve tension, improve posture and promote wellbeing. Treatment is tailored to the diagnosis of each individual. Moxibustion, ear candling, magnet therapy and flower remedies may be incorporated where appropriate. Sometimes the benefits are felt immediately, and sometimes it my take up to 2 days for the body to complete the rebalancing process and for the benefits to be felt. Likewise, some people find they need a series of 4 or so weekly/fortnightly treatments to achieve lasting improvements, whereas others come for a monthly top up as a lifestyle choice to maintain good health. The treatment takes place at floor level on a japanese futon mat, in a spacious and calm space. The receiver wears loose clothing, changing room facilities are available.

• Reduce stiffness, improve flexibility and posture
• Improve circulation and toxin removal
• Assist the immune system and lymphatic drainage
