Bath Shiatsu

Trusted for 10 years

Shiatsu is an ancient healing art, originating in Japan. It uses the sense of touch to balance energy (ki or Chi) in meridians throughout the body.
Meridians are channels through which our vital energy flows, a bit like streams, rivers or even blood vessels.
When we feel unwell or experience symptoms. both physical and mental, it means that our vital energy is not flowing through these channels as well as it might.
Using various techniques which may include holding, palming, accupressure, massage, stretching and rotations the practitioner will endeavour to disperse the excesses and encourage the energy to flow to where it is most depleted and needed.Our bodies store memories of all that we have lived. When we have not expressed our feelings or dealt with issues as they occurred, the echoes of these get stored in the body, eventually developing into symptoms. Through connecting us with our bodies, Shiatsu enables us to listen to these symptoms which are our gateway to self-knowledge and, ultimately, our connection with others.  Being a complementary therapy, Shiatsu may safely be used in conjunction with conventional medicine and is known to have been helpful in treating a wide range of physical and mental symptoms, both chronic and acute, such as:
back, neck and shouder pain, insomnia, headaches, skin conditions,
digestive complaints, phobias, asthma, arthritis, tennis elbow, tendonitis,
sports and accidental injuries, blood pressure issues, circulation,
relationship issues and nervous complaints.For more about Shiatsu visit www.shiatsusociety.org
