Practical Details

A confidential case history is taken at the first appointment. The Shiatsu treatment is usually carried out on a futon (padded mat) at floor level although this can be adapted if necessary.

Warm flexible clothing should be worn and it is better not to eat heavily in the 2 hours prior to a Shiatsu treatment. All treatment is carried out through clothing.

Your session will include an appropriate combination of the following techniques: thumb pressure applied to selected points throughout the body, using the meridian system of Traditional Chinese Medicine massage and dynamic stretches to loosen areas of tension.

To make the results of the treatment even more effective, you may be given recommendations relating to diet, exercise and lifestyle.

You should allow up to 1hr 30 mins for the first session and up to 1hr for follow-up sessions.
