SHIATSU

Shiatsu literally translates as ‘finger pressure’ and is a Japanese therapy originating in Oriental medical theory and traditional Japanese massage techniques.

Shiatsu therapists treat the whole body as well as specific problem areas by addressing both emotional and physical wellbeing. The aim is to treat the body by balancing the flow of Ki (life energy); applying pressure to obstructed or weak areas. This relieves symptoms and resolves conditions, improving the patient's strength and vitality.

Shiatsu is recognised as being suitable for treatment of most common conditions including musculo-skeletal, menstrual, digestive and immune system disorders as well as being one of the most effective therapies for stress management and relaxation.
