"SHIATSU promotes the body's natural ability to heal and balance. It has vast scope, and works on the whole person - not just the physical body - but also with the psychological, emotional and spiritual aspect of being." LIZZIE SLOWE
What is SHIATSU
SHIATSU is body work – a bit like massage but practised through clothes, with the client lying on a futon on the floor.
A session typically involves the practitioner using a flowing variety of techniques, using palms, thumbs and fingers (or knees, elbows) to apply relaxed pressure to the body, along meridians (similar to those used in acupuncture).
Some techniques are similar to those used in physiotherapy, massage, acupressure, but will be experienced by the receiver as a flowing session – where the whole body is attended to. The receiver is only required to relax and occasionally breathe!
The aim of a SHIATSU session is to allow the chi or energy to flow more evenly through the body, (using the meridian system as a map) to allow more balance, creating greater health and wellbeing. which can be felt differently by everyone and in every session – common interpretations are; an easing of tension, relief from pain, relaxation, energising, a feeling of being calmer, feeling freer…

The Benefits of SHIATSU
Working on your physical and energy body can help you to feel better in many ways - although it must be said that SHIATSU addresses the person and not the symptoms, and that everyone is an individual with their own unique system. No two migraine sufferers are the same!
