The Therapy Directory

Shiatsu, literally meaning ‘finger pressure’, is a fully clothed holistic therapy which works in similar ways as Acupuncture, but the Shiatsu practitioner will use their hands rather than needles, and gentle stretches and joint rotations are also used. Shiatsu acts to balance the body’s channels of vital energy to promote your well-being, support good health and prevent illness. Shiatsu treatments are deeply relaxing. Typically the Shiatsu practitioner will take a lifestyle and medical history before making an energetic evaluation taking into account your reasons for coming.
