Shiatsu Massage

Shiatsu translates as finger pressure and has traditions in the Far East going back centuries. However it wasn't developed it into a comprehensive treatment until the last century.

Shiatsu aims to stimulate the flow of vital energy or qi passing through the channels or meridians covering the surface of the body. By the application of special massage, pressure and stretching techniques, the body is helped to heal itself.

A case history is taken and symptoms noted. Traditional Chinese Medicine methods of diagnosis may be used. The client may be asked to lie down fully clothed on a padded mat. The practitioner's thumbs, fingers, palms, elbows and feet may be used as deemed necessary to improve the flow of qi. This may involve holding and pressing in a gentle fashion to more dynamic rotations and stretches.
