What happens during a Shiatsu treatment?
Initially we will talk around how you are at the moment, how life is, any areas you'd like to discuss or improve, any areas that you wish to gain clarity or let go of. This is then followed by around 60 minutes of bodywork, a short rest, drink of water and feedback. The whole body is usually worked on, by lying on your front, back or side, along with any areas that you feel are requiring specific attention or that are causing issues at the time of treatment. By utilising various techniques, stretches and alignment adjustments there is usually a distinct improvement and difference that is felt after the treatment compared to when you arrive.
Shiatsu treatments are usually experienced as being both relaxing and enjoyable. Shiatsu is a fantastic way of getting back in touch with your body and is valuable 'you time' to get away from daily life as well as gaining more comfort and peace in the mind.
The treatment takes place fully clothed, on a comfortable futon mattress, at floor level. It is best to wear loose-fitting tops and trousers, preferably cotton, to allow for movement. People who cannot lie on the floor can be worked on in alternative positions, to suit their needs. Alternatively a treatment couch can be used if required.
It is recommended to avoid eating a full meal for two hours before the session and to rest for one hour afterwards. The effects of the session may be experienced immediately or over several days after the treatment.
Treatments last between 1.5 & 2 hours on average depending on your needs on the day and cost £60
