Available in both Glasgow and Largs, Shiatsu is a Japanese therapeutic treatment using different qualities of pressure over the whole body to help reduce muscle tension and rebalance postural alignment. The theory and techniques originate from Chinese Medicine and by applying varied pressure on the meridians (acupuncture energy pathways), the subtle form of life force known as “Ki” (pronounced as “Chee”) is stimulated to induce a smooth flow of energy. Treatments involve some manipulation and stretches and can work deeper into the body than regular massage without being invasive.
A 50 minute session is calming and extremely relaxing and will leave you feeling more flexible with a general sense of well-being.
