A shiatsu treatment takes approximately 1 hour. Extra time will be needed on the first visit so that a detailed case history can be taken. The shiatsu practitioner uses a variety of techniques to determine which energy pathways (meridians) in the body are blocked & which are depleted or low in energy.
The treatment usually takes place on a padded mat or futon at floor level, although the treatment may be given in a chair if you are unable to lie down. Following the treatment, recommendations may be made on gentle exercise and changes to lifestyle or dietary patterns to support health & well-being.
