Shiatsu

What can I expect?

Shiatsu has been influenced by Traditional Chinese Medicine and works on the same energy system as acupuncture. Instead of needles, Shiatsu uses a number of techniques such as pressure, stretches, rocking, percussion and palming. During treatment sessions, the client remains fully clothed, lying on a comfortable mat on the floor, though treatment can be done in any position, on a chair or bed, for example.

The initial consultation involves diagnosis and treatment with the duration and frequency of sessions depending on the individual’s symptoms. Sessions may include dietary, lifestyle and exercise recommendations.
