Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a form of body work, done through the clothes, to help invigorate and relax. Working with the same meridians and points as in acupuncture, a shiatsu session involves the person lying on a comfortable mat on the floor. Gentle but firm hands-on pressure is given over the whole body, to improve the flow of energy. The result is deeply relaxing. Shiatsu is a Japanese word meaning finger pressure. It is a traditional form of therapy which grew out of the introduction of Chinese medical theory over centuries. Unlike ordinary massage, as it seeks to move the body’s energy which lies deeper than the skin’s surface. Passive stretches to the limbs and rotations of the joints are part of a session. The overall aim is to improve sluggish circulation, relieve built –up tensions and free the body from chronic patterns of disharmony.

Testimonials

"I have been attending Sally for almost 10 years now. In that time Sally has helped me to manage my RSI through regular shiatsu sessions and other practical advice. Without my shiatsu sessions I wouldn't be able to maintain the lifestyle I have today. Sally is a very sympathetic and experienced practitioner and I would highly recommend her to anyone considering shiatsu as an alternative therapy."
