SHIATSU

Shiatsu is a Japanese bodywork therapy which uses gentle pressure, stretches and rotations to release tension, settle the mind and harmonise the energy in the body. It uses the same principles as acupuncture but shiatsu, meaning 'finger pressure', replaces needles with hands and fingers and thus has all the nourishing benefits of intuitive touch. It is a deeply relaxing treatment and regular sessions can help prevent illness and enhance wellbeing... When the free flow of Ki is blocked, we can develop an imbalance which manifests in symptoms. Shiatsu can help release these blocks and revitalise areas of stiffness or weakness, which can relieve the symptoms. When pressure is applied to specific points along the meridians the Ki in the channel is affected and thus some aspect of our body and mind.
