EquiPoise Shiatsu for People

Shiatsu is an holistic treatment. Diagnosis and treatment reflect the way we live our lives and so it is essential that the practitioner knows as much as possible about their client.  Diagnosis prior to treatment is achieved not only by what the client tells the practitioner, but also from facial features, the way a client talks, smells, posture and sometimes by tongue diagnosis.
 
Each shiatsu treatment will normally last approximately one hour.  The patient usually lies on the floor on a futon (padded mat) and remains fully clothed.  Treatment positions vary from lying on your front, side or back depending upon your individual requirements.  During the treatment all you need to do is relax.
 
During a typical treatment the practitioner will use finger and/or hand pressure to access the Qi flow within the meridians.  This is then balanced by using direct contact with Tsubos (the points used by acupuncturists), massage type techniques along the meridians and rotation and stretching of joints.
 
At the end of each session you will be offered advice based on diet, exercise, and general lifestyle to help you improve your condition (disharmony).
 
Some people may feel a little light headed at the end of a treatment - please allow yourself an extra 10 to 15 minutes at the end to sit quietly before driving away.
