Rooted in ancient Chinese medicine, with aspects of modern physiology and psychology, Shiatsu is a holistic healing art based on communicative touch. After talking through your needs, the practice uses stretches, rotations and gentle contact with acupuncture points. With instinctive reflection, your body and mind will communicate and receive the support needed to attain balance and ease. As well as specific issues you wish to address, Shiatsu is good at accessing problems hidden from the analytical mind. It is particularly effective for headaches, back pain, complications from deep-seated emotional trauma, stress-related issues – such as anxiety and insomnia – or just that elusive feeling that something is not quite right.
