SHIATSU is a Japanese healing art that treats the whole person, being effective on the physical, emotional and mental levels of being. It enhances wellbeing, can prevent illness, and can be used to treat many common ailments.

THE TREATMENT~

The treatment is given through the clothes on a soft mat called a futon, on the floor. Modulated pressure is applied to the relevant channels and designated points on them with the palms and thumbs.
Our energetic system is self adjusting once the areas of deficiency
and excess are stimulated appropriately.

Treatments are deeply relaxing, restoring and energising.



HOW SHIATSU WORKS~

In the oriental understanding of health, all our bodily systems depend on the quality and movement of "KI" (life-force) , in the body's energy channels. SHIATSU simply means "finger-pressure", and the Shiatsu practitioner is trained to feel the quality of KI when applying gentle pressure to the energy channels.

These channels connect internally to all the organs and systems of the body, enabling the Practitioner to make an energetic diagnosis of the whole person.

Shiatsu adjusts the quality of KI so as to promote wellbeing and prevent illness.

WHAT CAN BE TREATED BY SHIATSU~

If you are in good health Shiatsu can help you to maintain and enhance it. Many symptoms, pain and discomfort, can be relieved, and more serious conditions prevented or alleviated. Shiatsu can also be used alongside conventional medical care, and can hasten recovery in serious illness.
