Using soft knuckles in a massage can effectively melt tension by applying deep, broad pressure without causing discomfort. Here’s how it works:

1. Engage Soft Knuckles for a Gentle Yet Deep Pressure
Instead of using bony, rigid knuckles, keep your fingers slightly curled and relaxed. The softer part of your knuckles—where the skin and muscle provide some cushion—allows for deep pressure without sharp pain.

2. Use Slow, Controlled Movements
Apply gentle but firm pressure with your soft knuckles.
Move slowly along tense muscles, allowing the tissue to respond.
The slower the movement, the more the muscle has time to relax and release.
3. Follow Muscle Fibers and Tension Patterns
Glide along the muscle fibers to encourage natural release.
Use circular or stripping motions along tight areas to increase blood flow.
4. Apply Gradual Pressure
Start with light pressure and slowly build as the muscle relaxes.
Avoid forcing through knots; instead, allow your soft knuckles to "trap" tension, encouraging a natural release.

Introducing Leanne From
Soul Space Healing 🌟
Many of you will know by now in my new clinic I have an extra treatment room that i’m hoping will be a bit of a multidiscipline treatment room with a few therapists working alongside myself. The first to join my team is Leanne who has been a client of mine for many years whom I now consider a friend. She has set up her own Business “Soul Space Healing and will be operating within “Shiatsu Shane Health & wellbeing”☯️

More about Leanne
From the age of eight, I suffered from migraines so intense that they disrupted my daily life. After years of searching for relief, doctors told me there was nothing more they could do. That answer didn’t sit right with me, so I took healing into my own hands.

I began exploring holistic wellness—learning about relaxation, energy healing, and the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit. Along this journey, I discovered something incredible: I could see colors around people, their aura—the energy field that surrounds and reflects a person’s well-being. Over time, I realized that our energy gets depleted and imbalanced through stress, illness, and life’s challenges.

By tuning into these energy shifts, I found ways to support healing—not just for myself, but for others. Through Reiki, meditation, mindfulness and nutrition, we can restore balance, release blocked energy, and step into a life of greater peace and vitality.

Soul Space Healing was born from my passion for helping others feel whole, happy, and aligned. My goal is to hold a safe, nurturing space where you can reconnect with yourself, heal deeply, and find the balance you deserve.

Let’s begin your healing journey together.

Special Opening Offer 60mins Reiki Just £35!
A wellness check-in, Reiki healing, and guided meditation to relax, restore, and bring harmony to your mind, body, and soul.

Also I’ve changed my appointment types rather than book in for say 1 hour shiatsu fusion and let me decide what you need ( you can still do this) but you can also now book for specific needs! such as booking for sciatica management, Neck pain treatment or just a Oily head massage to Relax!

If this new method proves popular I may add more variety to the sessions you can book.

Today the sign has gone up! 🙌 now there should be no more people nipping into barbers to ask "wheres shiatsu shane" as this is a pretty decent sign.... weirdly I've been more excited about this sign than anything else that's been happening 🙌🙏

Open today! Shiatsu Shane has moved! But don't worry I've not gone far I've simply moved downstairs into a unit that once belonged to Chambers... I'm in the first unit next to Rumours..
No more climbing steps!
You'll have to 🐻 with me though over the next few weeks or even months as we finish things off... like get a sign up, add stock to what is hopefully going to be a little health shop, and finish off the back where there will be another treatment room 🙌
