SHIATSU

Shiatsu originates from Japan. It involves applying thumb pressure to special points on the meridian pathways in order to maintain physical and mental well being, treat disease, or alleviate discomfort. Comfortable clothing is required as the therapist works through your clothes. The outcome of a Shiatsu session is to feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Shiatsu is valuable in promoting overall health.
