Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a Japanese style of massage which draws from the principles of
Chinese medicine. In Japanese 'shi' translates as finger and 'atsu' is
pressure. The health and harmony of our minds and bodies depends upon the
optimum flow of life energy called 'Qi' which travels through many
meridian pathways in the body. A compressive, palming technique is used to release any blockages or
stagnation within the meridian pathways via palms, fingers, knuckles, elbows
or feet freeing the body to heal itself and remain in balance. Shiatsu does
not require the use of oils and is usually performed fully clothed on a
futon mat on the floor therefore comfortable, loose, cotton clothing should
be worn.
Remedial Massage
Assessment of the soft tissue followed by application of specific
techniques using a variety of
approaches such as breathing, slower tempo and rythym using fingers, thumbs,
knuckles and elbows, incorporating trigger point therapy and myofascial
release techniques to relieve muscle tension and soreness as well as
restoring the return to range of movement of the joints.
Relaxation Massage
A full body massage using long, rhythmic strokes including gliding,
kneading and compression of the soft tissue using oil which is great for
stress relief after a busy week at work, a great pick me up in times of low
