Sometimes it may appear that the main complaint presented is not effected by initial treatment. However, overall health is addressed and as the quality of Ki changes, the symptoms associated with a lack of flow will gradually improve. The duration and frequency of treatment will vary from person to person as will the total number of sessions. The practitioner may give advice on diet, exercise and lifestyle, encouraging self-understanding and greater independence with maintaining health. Practitioners can teach you exercises to encourage the flow if energy, including controlled breathing, mediation, stretching and percussion or tapping and applying pressure to acupoints.
Treatment takes place fully clothed on a futon at floor level.
Qualified practitioners should be registered with The Shiatsu Society and have the letters MRSS after their name. Sally Goodwin is available for treatments in the Brighton area and offers a free introductory treatment.
