Shiatsu

Shiatsu Massage is one of a number of types of massage available at our clinics in Cambridge, Peterborough, Spalding, Milton Keynes and Northampton

From the Japanese words ‘Shi’- (finger) and ‘Atsu’- (pressure).

Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese hands-on therapy that uses soft tissue techniques such as massage to help realign the bodies natural structure and energy. This energy runs through channels known as ”meridians”, and occasionally these meridians become blocked which can lead to ill health.

The light use of fingers, thumbs and even elbows provides an oppotunity for the body to relax and allow tension to resolve.

It can be used successfully to treat most anxiety and stress related conditions such as neck pain, tension headaches, low back discomfort.
