Shiatsu

Zen Shiatsu

Les did over 3 years of study of Shiatsu and assisted for a year at the excellent Norwich Shiatsu Centre. He has now been practicing for over 10 years. Shiatsu looks at the body as a whole and not just the presenting symptoms.

Shiatsu is a traditional therapy from Japan that stimulates the body's inherent ability to heal itself. Les uses a mixture of finger pressure and his body weight in a treatment that both heals and assesses the patient. Natural body weight is used when pressure is applied on special points on the body, as opposed to just pushing with finger pressure. Shiatsu is like a combination of Thai massage and energy work.

Shiatsu feels good and treatments are very relaxing. Some of the conditions that Shiatsu are good for, but are not limited to are:

- Chronic Pain
- Muscular Tension
- Respiratory & Circulatory Illness
- Weak Immune Systems
- Allergies
- Digestive Problems
- Menstrual Disorders
- Headaches & Earaches
- Anxiety, Grief, Depression
- Backache
- Sprains and strains
- Neck and shoulder stiffness
- Joint pain
- Insomnia or sleeping difficulties
- Poor circulation
- Fluid retention and bloating

A Shiatsu Treatment from Les

Treatment is performed on a futon on the floor and lasts about an hour. The receiver is fully dressed in loose light clothing, preferably in natural fabrics such as cotton. No oils or lotions are used. After treatment, many people experience relief from their discomforts - from physical or emotional pain, calmer mood, and clearer mind. Many people find that deep, restful sleep also comes more easily.

During the initial consultation Les will consider all aspects of your health. Issues may be presenting for various reasons including factors such as personal and family medical history, diet and lifestyle or there may be old or new new injuries.

Please feel free to contact Les to book a Shiatsu Session.
