What is Shiatsu?

Shiatsu is an ancient Japanese massage therapy following similar principals as acupuncture by working on a system of energy channels or ‘meridians’, each connecting with an organ. Pressure is applied using thumbs, palms and elbows. And gentle stretching techniques to stimulate and re-balance energy.

​

Shiatsu can offer effective relaxing treatments, specifically tailored to your own needs, which can help a wide-range of conditions — from specific injuries or health problems to more general symptoms.

​

Continual stress leads to pain and illness. Shiatsu treatment relieves muscle tension and can aid joint mobility, which significantly improves posture. It promotes relaxation, bringing relief from tensions, improves your mood, aids sleep, and balances energy levels.

​

Shiatsu is effective on all levels — mind, body, lifting our spirits and sense of well being with a positive attitude.

I have seen clients over many of my professional years with physical and emotional stress problems and Shiatsu has been effective to resolve them.

‘I have been seeing Josie for Shiatsu treatment on a fairly regular basis. She is very knowledgeable and sensitive to the needs of her clients and whether she is dealing with a stiff neck or upset stomach, she always seems to achieve positive results. She has also helped my sister to give up smoking in her capacity as a Hypnotherapist and this was after only one session!'

FAQ's

What does a Shiatsu session involve?

 

After an initial consultation, the treatment will be carried out on a couch. Where conditions make this difficult, e.g., poor health, injuries, disabilities and the elderly, patients can be treated in a chair.

​

Please bring or wear loose comfortable clothing for your treatment and avoid eating at least one hour before your visit.

​

 

How many sessions will I need?

 

The number of treatments varies for each person. One session maybe adequate but for optimum benefit two or more may be required. This can be discussed after your treatment. When a condition improves many people continue with regular treatments — making a difference to the quality of their lives.
