Shiatsu

Shiatsu is Japanese bodywork which is deeply seated in the philosophy and practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine. 

Shiatsu uses a combination of relaxing pressure on the body, acupressure points and gentle joint manipulation to promote the free-flow of Chi (energy) around the body. It is received fully clothed, whilst lying on a futon mattress on the floor.

By helping your body to relax and you to connect to your body, shiatsu can help your body to tap into its own powers of self-healing which can help in many areas including:

  A range of muscular issues
  General physical stress and tension
  Digestive disorders
  Headaches
  Mild depression
  Pre menstrual and menstrual issues
  Disrupted sleep patterns.

Appointments are for 1 hour, with an initial consultation appointment of approximately an hour and a quarter.

 

I have benefitted greatly from having treatments from Sally with both table top massage and Shiatsu.

Over the last few years I have suffered from various physical and emotional pain. Sally's calm and confident manner helps her use her professional skills in reducing stress and getting to the central problem causing my physical pain.

My back, shoulders and neck all feel a lot better with less spasm occurring, and I do not get as much dizziness as I did.

For me, the release of emotional tension has been an added bonus. Sally's knowledge of meridian lines and chi has helped me focus on areas in my life where I have felt completely stuck. To know I have a stagnant liver chi has helped me understand where my emotional block is and how to deal with it.
