Shiatsu is a traditional form of body therapy from Japan. By balancing the flow of energy in the 'acupuncture' meridians, shiatsu can relieve many conditions, help prevent the build-up of stress, and restore vitality and well-being.
The treatment involves comfortable pressure from the thumbs and palms applied to the energy channels and points in the body, given on a padded mat or futon at floor level or with the reciever sitting in a chair. It may also include gentle stretches and rotations of the limbs and joints.

Indian Head Massage involves working with a firm and gentle rythmn to help unknot blockages and relieve this build-up of tension. It also calms the mind, promotes relaxation, thus relieving stress.

It incorporates over 60 specific stress release points on the head, neck, shoulders, arms and back, to leave the client relaxed and calm yet energised and alert. The sequence has been developed to produce the maximum beneficial results for the client in just 20 minutes. Received fully clothed it can be given anywhere from the office to shopping centres, exhibitions and parties.
