Aids Sleep
If you are experiencing difficulties with sleep the roots of this are unique to you. The beauty of Shiatsu is that it responds to what your body needs to develop restful sleep. The energetic landscape is different for example if you are finding it hard to get to sleep to if you are waking very early or having a broken sleep. As well as shiatsu touch that supports the body in rebalancing itself, your practitioner will advise in lifestyle changes such as dietary intake and use of breathing and relaxation techniques.
Improves Mood
A Shiatsu session will provide a space for your body to rebalance itself energetically in order that Qi can flow smoothly. The worries and concerns of day to day life may make you feel ungrounded which can impact your mood.
Releases Tension
As well as using therapeutic touch, a shiatsu session will also include muscle stretches and joint rotations. The practitioner will use these techniques to promote the flow of qi and this can lead to a greater sense of spaciousness in the body which feels very different from holding tension and tightness, for example in the neck and shoulders.
Promotes Wellbeing
Shiatsu is a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, based on Eastern ideas about the body’s interconnectedness both within itself and also in the wider environment. It promotes wellbeing in increasing awareness of balance in the body and in supporting practices such as breathing techniques, mindfulness and meditation.
Aids relaxation
Shiatsu touch is often described as deeply relaxing. A session provides the space for the body to experience tranquility and rebalancing; often when the practitioner discerns that relaxation is what is needed the session will involve a gently holding of a specific area of the body, for example the lower back or the feet
