Shiatsu Bodywork

What happens during treatment?

Treatments are received fully clothed, usually while lying or sitting on a futon. Pressure is applied to 'meridiens' or 'energy lines' on the body through a variety of techniques that include: stretching, holding and massage, by using a combination of hands, fingers, elbows, knees and feet. The practitioner will also use thumb pressure on 'pressure points' or 'tsubo's'. These are the same points that are used in Acupuncture and Acupressure.

Although benefit can be gained from a single treatment, a course of around 6 treatment sessions is usually recommended to receive the maximum benefit. Sometimes, there may be deep rooted underlying causes for symptoms, which may not always be apparent during the first session.

Sessions last about an hour including a consultation and time to discuss any symptoms or issues. Receivers should wear loose, long–sleeved, comfortable clothes with clean socks for your treatment. No oils are used.
