Shiatsu sessions
Each session lasts approximately one hour. The first session may be slightly longer since your practitioner will make a detailed case history to develop a complete picture of your health according to the principles of oriental medicine.
The session usually takes place on a padded mat or futon at floor level, although it is possible to receive Shiatsu in a chair if you are unable to lie down. The client stays fully clothed. Following a treatment there can be a feeling of increased vitality and you may feel invigorated yet relaxed.
Common conditions which have been helped by Shiatsu - Back pain, headaches and migraines, whiplash and neck stiffness, joint pain and reduced mobility, menstrual problems, digestive problems, asthmatic symptoms, sports injuries, depression. Shiatsu helps to relax the body, restores and balances energy, ease tension and stiffness, improve breathing, posture and
circulation.
Shiatsu is a traditional hands-on Japanese healing therapy. It can help in a wide range of conditions—from specific injuries to more general symptoms of poor health.
Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing experience and regular Shiatsu sessions help to prevent a build up of stress in our daily lives
The philosophy underlying Shiatsu is that vital energy (known as Ki iin Japanese) flows throughout the body in a series of channels called meridians.
For many different reasons energy can stop flowing freely and this then produces a symptom.. Your Shiatsu
practitioner will consider your state of health, the symptoms that you are experiencing and depending on your constitution and general energy levels will use a variety of techniques to improve your energy flow. These may include
gentle holding and pressing on the meridians and where appropriate more dynamic rotations and stretches. As the
quality of energy changes, the symptoms associated with a lack of flow will gradually improve. Shiatsu is a therapy that works on the individual as a complete being— not just the physical body but also on an emotional and/or mental level.
