What to expect from a Shiatsu treatment
During the session, the client remains fully clothed and no oils or lotions are used. It’s best to wear loose or stretchy clothing.
Treatment either takes place on a futon on the floor, to allow for a greater range of stretching or mobilization techniques, or on a treatment couch.
For a first appointment, I will take a case history and discuss your treatment aims with you. Every treatment is tailored to the individual.
The techniques that may be used include stretching, joint mobilizing, acupressure points, massage and fascial release techniques.
At the end of the session, I may go through some stretches and exercises with you, to work out which will be most beneficial to maintain and improve on the changes begun during the treatment; exercises that can easily fit into your life and routines.
