a Japanese massage modality

Shiatsu is a form of Japanese meridian- based bodywork that is performed on a futon whilst the recipient remains clothed throughout.

It combines much of the classical acupuncture model, with a variety of forms of touch.

Including palms, barefoot, point-based work on acupoints, and gentle stretches.

How does it work?

Central to the practice of shiatsu is activating and harmonising the movement of Qi through the body. This can address physical symptoms such as joint pain, lower back pain, and tension in the head, neck and shoulders.

It strengthens and balances the immune system, the digestion, and endocrine system and can alleviate stubborn conditions such as insomnia.

Equally, it addresses psychoemotional presentations such as depression, anxiety, grief and the many and varied ways we experience stress in the modern world.

What can I expect through Shiatsu treatments?

A shiatsu treatment will typically leave you feeling calmer, more centered, freer physically and mentally clearer.
It also gives you that subtle sense of nurturance often missing from our busy lives.
The benefits can exceed this list but varies from person to person
