We are a Shiatsu specialist clinic committed to keeping you in the best of health. Shiatsu is a wonderful Japanese therapy best described as "Acupuncture without the needles".
At The Bucklersbury Clinic we use Shiatsu to target relief and to bring about improvements in your health and well being.
Do you need Shiatsu?
The pressure of modern life demands a lot from our bodies and can contribute to our health and well-being. Constant imbalances in our health can result in the appearance of symptoms and eventually these symptoms can make the body susceptible to illness or injury.
For people who have busy, demanding or hectic lifestyles it is an absolute necessity that they look after their health and regular Shiatsu treatments can help with this. Clients of Shiatsu have also reported an increase in their motivation to make positive lifestyle changes as well.
What can Shiatsu do for you?
Physical and emotional imbalances can manifest as various symptoms or problems. Shiatsu works by helping the body to restore its natural balance, reduce tensions and thus return to better health.
Shiatsu can help with a wide range of conditions, from specific issues to more general symptoms of ill health. It is a highly effective and deeply relaxing therapy and can help to improve energy levels and breathing, aids good sleep and prevents the build up of stress and tension.
As well as treating specific ailments, Shiatsu is also a preventative therapy and regular treatments are beneficial to maintain your overall health once the initial problems may have receded.
Shiatsu is a whole body therapy, but we can focus on targeting specific areas as well such as the face, back, neck or muscles if it is required. Joint mobilisation techniques (Sotai), stretches and massage can also be used to concentrate treatment on specific problem areas.
What is Shiatsu?
Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese form of acupressure where we use manual pressure to stimulate the Acupuncture points on the body. It is influenced by both Chinese medicine and western anatomical knowledge. It has been a fundamental part of oriental medicine for over 4,000 years and is still commonly used.
In Japan Shiatsu is a licensed medical therapy and is nationally regulated as a form of Physiotherapy. It is used to complement other forms of medicine and as a preventative treatment for overall health.
What is Sotai?
Sotai or Neuromuscular Postural Release is a Japanese series of exercises and techniques used to bring about structural re-alignment and mobility. The techniques work to improve posture, release muscular stiffness and reduce tension. When appropriate individual sotai techniques may be included as part of your shiatsu session or your practitioner may recommend the use of the full sotai sequence instead.
What to expect from a session
With Shiatsu you remain fully clothed for your treatment, which will take place either on a futon at floor level or on a massage couch.
