SERVICES
Hello and Welcome...
WHAT IS SHIATSU ?
Shiatsu is holistic, hands-on bodywork. It is simple, thorough & a total pleasure to receive. At the same time, it is an excellent support to ongoing health maintenance and highly effective in the treatment of a wide range of specific conditions.
Shiatsu has its origins in traditional oriental medical theory and techniques that date back for centuries. In the tradition of TCM, this ancient Japanese massage technique harmonises the various circulatory systems of the body and relieves deep muscular tension. Healing is encouraged through the release of physical, mental and emotional stress.
Zen Shiatsu uses individual diagnosis and the extended meridian system developed by Master Shizuto Masunaga.
RECEIVING A SHIATSU
Before the treatment, you will be asked about your medical history, general health and specific issues you would like addressed.
Treatment (90 – 100 minutes) is conducted on a cotton futon on the floor with added support provided by pillows and bolsters. You will be given a cotton bathrobe to wear.
Diagnosis is made by feeling your pulse and by palpitation of diagnostic zones in the abdomen (hara) and back.
Barbara uses gentle but firm pressure and stretching along the meridian lines of the body to release, harmonise and balance the flow of energy and blood. Tension, fatigue and stiffness are relieved while the immune system is strengthened and self-healing is triggered.
Shiatsu works on the whole body as well as specific problem areas.
Follow up is provided in the form of individualised wholefood dietary suggestions and KI yoga exercises.
