Holistic Acupressure Massage
SERVICES
Shiatsu is a holistic therapy based on the same principles as acupuncture, using hands instead of needles. It is a deeply relaxing treatment and regular Shiatsu is beneficial for general well-being as well as for the treatment of specific ailments.
Shiatsu works on the individual as a complete being - not just the physical body but also on an emotional and/or mental level. The aim is to balance the body's energy, also known as Ki or Chi.
Some Benefits of Shiatsu:
- Relaxation
- Ease of tension and stiffness
- Better circulation
- Sense of well being
- Digestive complaints
- Menstrual problems
- Headaches
- Anxiety
- Depression....and more
Shiatsu's effectiveness can be put down to its ability to calm the nervous system, allowing the body to re-balance itself.
The Shiatsu Treatment
Each treatment is tailored to the individual, depending on how they are at the time. A session may include gentle holding, pressing with palms, thumbs, elbows, knees or feet on the meridians, or more dynamic rotations and stretches to bring about a relaxed and rejuvenated state.
Treatment takes place fully clothed, on a soft futon on the floor, or a chair if unable to lie down.
The initial session lasts slightly longer than an hour to allow time for a case history to be taken. Subsequent sessions usually last between 45 mins and an hour.
Please wear warm, loose comfortable clothing, preferably cotton e.g. track suit and cotton socks.
Do not eat heavily beforehand and avoid alcohol.
After treatment drink plenty water and rest if possible.
