It offers symptomatic relief and preventative medicine given in the most non invasive way.

The approach and philosophy of shiatsu are similar to those of acupuncture but without the needles. The therapy acts upon the subtle energy of the body which runs through pathways known as meridians. A combination of applied pressure and gentle stretching techniques encourages self-healing, rebalances the energy and eases both physical and mental tension. Shiatsu is effective for stress, back pain, insomnia, migraine, low energy levels and much more. Physically, it has the effect of stimulating the circulation and working on the nervous system to release toxins and deep seated tension from muscles.
