Literally meaning “finger pressure”, Shiatsu uses light and firm pressure and a range of gentle stretches to harmonise and treat imbalance. Practitioners generally work along the lines of energy through the body called Meridians, and with specific work on points located on these meridians

Shiatsu Treatments
As shiatsu practitioners, we use traditional Japanese therapy to alleviate various physical and emotional conditions. One area where shiatsu can be particularly effective is in treating postural imbalances.
Postural Treatments
During a session focused on postural treatment, we use finger and palm pressure, stretching, and joint mobilization to release tension and improve alignment. Some common shiatsu techniques used in postural treatment include kneading, targeting shiatsu pressure points, stretching, and joint mobilization.
Emotional Treatments
Emotional imbalances can manifest in a variety of ways, such as anxiety, depression, and stress. By using shiatsu to target specific pressure points along the body’s meridians, practitioners can help to rebalance the body and improve emotional wellbeing.
Facial Treatments
Facial tension can manifest as tightness in the jaw, forehead, or around the eyes. By using shiatsu to target specific pressure points along the face and head, practitioners can help to release tension and improve circulation, leading to a more relaxed and refreshed appearance.
Please note: A massage therapist can never replace a good family doctor to cure viral or bacterial illnesses. It is not advisable to have a massage if you have a fever, are seriously weakened or are vomiting.
FALL: Reflection and Introspection
In TCM, fall holds a special place as it aligns with the Metal element, symbolizing qualities like clarity, precision, and strength. This season is considered a time of transition, both in the natural world and within our bodies.
The lungs and large intestine, organs associated with the Metal element, take center stage during the fall. TCM emphasizes the importance of nurturing lung health during this time because the lungs play a crucial role in maintaining a robust immune system and ensuring the smooth flow of Qi, or vital energy.
Fall is often seen as a period of letting go, much like trees shedding their leaves. This philosophy extends beyond the physical realm, it’s time to release emotional baggage and declutter your minds and lives.
Emotions are intricately linked to physical well-being, and the fall season can evoke feelings of grief, nostalgia, or introspection.
Balancing the Yin and Yang energies in the body becomes particularly important during the transition from the Yang (active, warm) seasons to the Yin (passive, cool) seasons.
The fall harvest season also influences dietary recommendations. Consuming foods that are locally sourced and in harmony with the season is believed to support health. Warm and nourishing foods take precedence to help the body adapt to the cooler weather.
Strengthening the body’s defenses and adapting to changes in external conditions are essential practices for maintaining health and harmony throughout the fall.
In summary, fall represents a time of transition, balance, and self-care. It emphasizes the importance of lung health, emotional well-being, and alignment with the changing energies of the season to foster overall health and harmony.
