Shiatsu Massage & Japanese Bodywork by Zenki

The Japanese healing art of Shiatsu (literally meaning ‘finger pressure’) is based on more than 3,500 years of Asian medicine and modern anatomy & physiology theory. Shiatsu, like most traditional Asian medical practices, is a holistic therapy that addresses at once the body’s physical, emotional, mental and energetic systems. Shiatsu helps to restore the physical functions of the nervous system, circulatory system, bone structure, muscles, and internal secretion, and stimulates the body’s natural ability to heal. Regular treatments can help reduce pain, relieve stress and improve overall health and well being.

Shiatsu can:

• Reduce the amount of stress in your life
• Alleviate any aches or pains
• Lessen the effect of joint problems such as arthritis
• Help to regulate menstruation and alleviate painful cramps
• Help to deal with sports injuries
• Correct posture and any part of the body that is out of alignment
• Help to relieve pain during pregnancy and/or childbirth
• Help to manage emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety or addictions.

Each treatment is carefully tailored to restore the balance of the body, taking account of your overall health and current circumstances. By addressing the underlying causes of discomfort, you may find that not only are symptoms alleviated, but that you also achieve an overall feeling of wellbeing.
