Shiatsu Therapy

Shiatsu at Norwood Alternative Health, Thame

Shiatsu is a physical therapy, based on the concepts of traditional Chinese medicine, which uses a combination of pressure points, gentle manipulation and stretching to re-energise weak areas and reduce tension in the body. By applying sensitive, mindful, touch with thumbs, fingers, elbows, knees and palms, the Shiatsu practitioner impacts the functioning of physical systems such as nervous, circulatory and respiratory, thus supporting the body’s innate self-healing abilities and promoting a sense of relaxation and wellbeing.

Whether you’re experiencing physical discomfort, mental health issues – such as anxiety, stress or depression, an imbalance of your body’s energy, or you just need an hour away from the world relaxing under a mindful touch, Shiatsu might be an answer.
