Shiatsu

Shiatsu (Japanese for 'finger pressure') is a fully clothed, hands-on, healing therapy. Combining the use of energy channels (meridians) and acupressure points. It usually takes place on a mat on the floor, or seated on a chair or stool.

It works on the whole person, not just with the physical body but also with the psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects of being.

It is a deeply relaxing experience and regular treatments can alleviate stress and maintain health and well-being.

Using gentle pressure, stretches, holding and joint mobilisations. In this way it is a little like massage. However, Shiatsu also works with the energetic condition of the body helping to re-energise weak areas, relax tension and bring harmony to body and mind.
