Shiatsu and Sports Injuries Sub-committee
The Sub-committee are having regular teleconferences to discuss how we can get Shiatsu into the Olympics. After much discussion they have decided that we need to initially concentrate on Shiatsu and sports injuries. If you visit the sports injury page on the public section of the website you can see we have started gathering Shiatsu projects and testimonials.
The idea of this page is to provide information for members so we can all work together getting Shiatsu well known in the sports injury arena.
We welcome your input so would appreciate any member submitting case studies, projects, event details, testimonals etc for the page.
Sub-committee members:
Tamsin Grainger (Chair), Helder Machado, Linda Skelton, Nicola Abell-Francis, Ian Ayre, Ruth Gutteridge, Alexander Gallagher, Teresa Hadland, Tom Griffin, Pat Bryan and Yukio Kuraho.
