What Is It?
Developed in Japan it is a style of bodywork which helps to promote health & well being by harmonising the body, mind and spirit.  Shiatsu draws upon the the principles of Traditional Oriental Medicine and literally translated from Japanese, 'shi' means finger and 'atsu' means pressure. 

How Does It Work?
The health and harmony of our minds and bodies depends upon the optimum flow of life energy  - 'Qi' and Blood - 'Xue', which travels through many pathways in the body. Areas of the body that can become deficient of blood and energy soon give rise to overactivity within another  area resulting in muscular tension, stress and blood stagnation.  To rebalance and restore harmony within the body a series of compressive techniques using palms, fingers, knuckles, elbows or feet may be used.  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.

Shiatsu affects all internal organs, muscles, ligaments, joints, nervous, endocrine and immune systems. Conditions that may respond well to Shiatsu include: high/low blood pressure, depression, anxiety, fatigue, arthritis, pregnancy, allergies, migraine, overuse injuries, postural imbalances, stress, muscular tension, insomnia and gynaecological problems.

Shiatsu – a wholistic, gentle & grounding therapy will leave you re-energised & rebalanced.
