Relax, feel refreshed, alleviate all stress and tension with - Shiatsu Therapy.

 

‘Shiatsu’, a Japanese word meaning ‘thumb pressure’, is a therapeutic form of manual therapy originating in Japan.  It involves the use of thumbs and palms of the hands to apply deep soothing pressure to various points on the body, thus creating a relaxing, soothing effect.  Shiatsu therapy is typically performed without any oils or cremes and clients can also wear light clothing if preferred!

 

In our fast-paced modern society we are working longer, in more demanding environments and living busier social lives, which unfortunately means that we are relying on less sleep.  We suffer from fatigue, diminished concentration and impaired ability to make sound decisions.  We are increasingly in a state of stress and find it more difficult to relax!  The effects of stress and fatigue can also cause a reliance on stimulants such as coffee, tea and energy drinks.

 

The aim of Shiatsu is to relax the nervous system and improve one’s heath by stimulating the body’s own natural powers of recuperation - Shiatsu helps!  It has a calming effect on the nervous system allowing our bodies to feel more grounded, relaxed, with the increased ability to think clearly and it helps to restore good sleep patterns.

 

Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing experience and regular treatments are an especially effective way to reduce the stress, fatigue and the anxiety of everyday life, thus improving one’s mental health.  Many patients find once their bodies are relaxed, their minds become clearer and more focused.  It promotes relaxation, reduces general tension in the body, and increases circulation.  Shiatsu’s benefits also extend to many medical conditions such as: arthritis; insomnia; headaches; poor digestion; neck/shoulder and back pain; sciatica; and it can help treat/speed up recovery from auto or sports injuries and help to correct poor posture.
