What is Shiatsu?
Shiatsu is a healing technique developed in Japan, and originally stemming from Chinese healing work. Shiatsu can allow you to connect deeply with your inner self, in physical, emotional and spiritual ways.
A shiatsu treatment is a good way to re-balance the body, and many people find it helpful with a wide variety of health issues. Generally, a treatment includes some time with you telling the practitioner about your past and present health issues, and what you would like from a shiatsu treatment. There is a period of bodywork, where you probably lie down (fully clothed) on a mat on the floor. The practitioner works on particular energy lines (meridians), and acupressure points, moves the body, and holds it in stillness, depending on what they and you feel is appropriate. After the hands-on treatment, there is time to feed back, and to discuss further treatment and dietary, exercise and lifestyle regimes and improvements.
Many health issues may benefit from shiatsu, including:
Presently, regular clinics are run at The Well at Willen, in Milton Keynes, on Tuesdays.
Also available in Moving Arts Base, London, N1, on Saturday afternoons.
Sessions are also available at other times and locations by arrangement.
