Shiatsu is form of therapeutic bodywork which has its roots in Japan and China. It dates back over 4000 years, but the impulse to touch and heal dates from the beginnings of humankind. Eastern medicine developed along different lines from modern Western medicine. Rather than following a physical and chemical focus on health, it looks at people energetically, seeing the energy each organ needs and how that is reflected in our whole being.
The word Shiatsu means 'finger pressure', and we use pressure on the acupuncture meridians and points to relieve pain, restore energy, and help bring the recipient's body back into a state of balance. If the flow of our energy is blocked or restricted, our health will suffer. Shiatsu gives us a rest, time to take a break and restore the harmony our body longs for.
Shiatsu is becoming more and more popular as a safe, non-invasive form of treatment. It complements our modern society's quest for the benefits of touch therapies. Our clients have found it useful in cases of headache, back pain, depression, insomnia, menstrual difficulties, ME, frozen shoulder and many more.
