Shiatsu Home

Shiatsu is a form of Oriental Bodywork Therapy based on the Traditional Eastern energetic and wholistic approach to medicine. The term Shiatsu means finger-pressure and it is of Japanese origin.

Shiatsu and Oriental Medicine view the person as a whole, not in parts. We add up the signs and symptoms to create a “big picture”, one which takes into consideration all aspects of a persons life. In other words, we treat the person, not the disease.

Our body is a healing mechanism and it is continually trying to create balance. Through our lifestyles (habits, traumas etc.), energetic blockages are created within the body which inhibit its proper functioning. Shiatsu Therapy is a means of finding and releasing these blockages, in turn, allowing the body to heal and balance quicker,easier and properly.
