Why Shiatu?

Shiatsu is a long-established holistic healthcare system, based on acupuncture principles. Instead of needles palm and thumb pressure is applied (through clothing) to selected points throughout the body. This has the effect of relaxing areas of tension, reducing pain and revitalising the body.

In addition massage, gentle stretches and rotations are applied when appropriate. Each treatment is tailored to the individual, taking account of his or her specific needs and state of health.

The full benefits from a Shiatsu session will be achieved over several days although immediately after a treatment the client will usually experience a feeling of deep relaxation, often with increased vitality and flexibility.
