Shiatsu at Airlie Complementary Clinic.

Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese healing art. It can help with a wide range of conditions - from specific injuries to more general symptoms of poor health. Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing experience and regular Shiatsu sessions help to prevent the build up of stress in our daily lives.

Common conditions which have been helped by Shiatsu are back pain, headaches, migraines, whiplash injuries and neck stiffness, joint pain and reduced mobility, menstrual problems, digestive problems, asthmatic symptoms, sport injuries, depression and fatigue.
The philosophy underlying Shiatsu is that vital energy (known as Ki in Japanese) flows throughout the body in a series of channels called meridians. For many different reasons Ki can stop flowing freely and this then produces symptoms.

Your Shiatsu practitioner will consider your state of health, the symptoms you are experiencing and, depending on your constitution and general energy levels, will use a variety of techniques to improve your energy flow.
These may include gentle holding, pressing with palms, thumbs, fingers on the meridians and, when appropriate more dynamic rotations and stretches.

As the quality of Ki changes, the symptoms associated with a lack of flow will gradually improve. Shiatsu is a therapy that works on the individual as a complete being - not just the physical body but also on the emotional, mental and/or spiritual level.

Benefits of Shiatsu: it relaxes mind and body, it restores and balances energy, it eases tension, stiffness and pains, it improves breathing, it improves posture, it improves circulation, it enhances well-being and it heals.
