What’s all about ?

Zen Shiatsu is a Japanese bodywork therapy that helps people to balance, which is key to health in Asian traditional medicine, and it’s used either as a preventative medicine or for healing. We’ve created a space in the neighbourhood of Chorlton / Whalleyrange in Manchester to support anyone to achieve that harmony essential for wellbeing and good health. We support that journey one step at a time but steadily through Shiatsu, recommendations about life style, food and appropriate practices. 


A Shiatsu session 

Shiatsu is practiced with the receiver dressed in comfortable clothes and clean socks lying on a futon, while the giver works on their Hara (abdomen) to get a diagnose, then proceeds to work on the meridians that come up on the Hara diagnosis. We also work with pressure points, but we use our thumbs and fingers, maybe elbows too, instead of needles as done by acupuncturist. We might perform some stretches and definitely join rotations.

Cost

Sessions are £50 (£40 concessions) 1 hour
The first session is up to 30 min longer (free of charge) as we’ll go through your medical history and what’s what you want from the therapy.
