SHIATSU

Shiatsu is a Chinese/Japanese form of therapeutic bodywork. It dates back over 4000 years, but the impulse to touch and heal is as old as humankind. Shiatsu is based on the same principles as acupuncture - that vital energy, or 'Ki', flows throughout the body in a series of channels known as 'meridians'. For many different reasons Ki can stop flowing freely and this can produce a symptom or feeling of dis-ease. Shiatsu is both a preventative and a healing art, as it aims to restore and balance the human body and its energy systems.

Shiatsu means 'finger pressure' and works on the acupuncture meridians and points. The technique relieves pain, relaxes mind and body and restores energy. Shiatsu gives us a rest, time to take a break and restore the harmony our bodies strive for.

Shiatsu is becoming more popular as a safe, non-invasive form of treatment, as we rediscover the benefits of touch therapy. It is useful in releasing back pain, depression, insomnia, headaches, menstrual problems, frozen shoulders, ME and much more.
