4worldlovers: Shiatsu is a Japanese healing technique that has its roots in thousands of years of traditional Chinese medicine. The goal of each treatment is to unblock the flow of life energy (Qi) and restore balance to the body’s channels/meridians in order to enhance your health.

During a session, pressure is applied to your body using the thumb, palm and elbow. The amount of pressure used depends on the feedback received from your body. Many people describe the pressure as a feeling of great relief as they experience the pain or tension being targeted and then easing away. You will leave your session feeling both physically and mentally relaxed and centred.

There is no greater communication tool between parents and their baby than touch. Studies show that massage can reduce crying and fussiness, help improve sleep, and alleviate colic and constipation.

Shiatsu is an incredibly effective way to treat pain and ease emotional stress. The long-holding pressure used during a shiatsu treatment activates the parasympathetic nervous system. This gives your body a break from the state of high alertness and intensity many of us need to maintain in order to get through our busy days. Your body's attention shifts to the internal organs: your peripheral muscles and nerves relax, digestive organs become more active, secretions increase, blood pressure and heart rate decline, your busy mind quiets and in general, your body prepares to relax and heal. On top of all of this, the pain and stress you came in with will be greatly reduced.
