Therapies
Shiatsu
The principles of Shiatsu are rooted in the traditions of oriental medicine using similar energy channels and points as in acupuncture, involving non-invasive and intuitive touch combined with highly skilled stretching and mobilisation techniques. Generally, the practitioner works on the whole body to help energy flow freely through the whole system, to stimulate the body's own innate ability to rebalance and heal itself. During the treatment this is usually experienced as a sense of deep relaxation.
A session usually lasts one hour and is given with the person fully clothed.
It takes place in a calm and comfortable room, on a futon on the floor or on a couch.
Following an initial assessment of your health condition, treatment aims will be agreed, so that each session is unique and tailored to individual needs.
