What happens in a Shiatsu Treatment?
Clients remain clothed, loose fitting clothing is recommended in order to facilitate unrestricted movement. Treatments usually take place on a futon on the floor, but can be conducted on a massage table, massage chair, or physio-ball. Before treatment I discuss with clients what is most suited to their particular needs, comfort and level of mobility.
I encourage clients’ active involvement in their health and wellbeing and we explore appropriate exercises within the Shiatsu treatment that clients might integrate easily into their lives.

What happens in a Shiatsu Treatment - Is it Confidential?
All records, data and client related information is confidential and kept safely in accordance with current General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) legislation and Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

How long is a treatment / course of treatments?
Regular treatments are usually of 45-50-minutes duration but are customised to clients’ specific needs. So although each session is self-contained, it may also be part of a short or longer course of treatments, in order to address particular, or on-going health and fitness issues, which I review with the client at the start of each session.

Short Treatments of 15 to 20-minutes duration are often suitable for concentrated work on a specific area and might be appropriate in a limited number of treatments over a shorter period of 2-3 days – this might be appropriate at the onset of a stiff neck, frozen shoulder or other areas of the body experiencing tension including the lower back and calves and can be helpful with conditions including sciatica.
