Shiatsu massage conducted on traditional futon

SHIATSU & PREGNANCY MASSAGE

​​

Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese massage therapy, where techniques such as acupressure, massage and stretching is applied to the whole body. This style of treatment works on the meridians (energy pathways) that are found all over the body and while focusing on balancing out the energy of the whole body, will also treat the symptoms as well.

 

Shiatsu is traditionally conducted on a futon and patients can remain clothed ensuring clothes are loose and comfortable. Patients will experience a treatment that can vary between gentle, medium and deep pressure but will experience sensations of great release at the same time.

 

Shiatsu is also used for pregnancy massage, which can be used right through the whole term. Women find it very nurturing and relieving as lying in this position is very comfortable and we can reach all the areas that tend to ache and tighten.

Its also very effective in the last week before due to date to include acupuncture for those women who are interested in natural inducing methods. For more information on pregnancy massage you are welcome to give me a call to discuss in detail. Its one of my favourite treatments to do.
