Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing and restorative body therapy used in Japan to treat stress and pain related problems as well as for general health maintenance. Regular sessions can help to prevent the build-up of stress in our daily lives. It literally means “finger pressure” and is derived from the same classical principals as acupuncture.

The main difference between shiatsu and acupuncture is that shiatsu practitioners use their fingers, thumbs and elbows instead of needles to stimulate the meridian pathways and acupuncture points of Qi running beneath the surface of the skin. This stimulation results in a release of stiff areas and blockages. Some gentle stretches and rotations are usually incorporated to release muscle tension, ease joint stiffness and re-align the body’s structure.

Shiatsu is a gentle treatment and can be beneficial for back pain, stress, headaches, whiplash injuries, neck stiffness, joint pain, reduced mobility and many sports injuries amongst other ailments.
