What
to Expect from a Treatment
The
treatments themselves last from 60-80 minutes and will cover the entirety
of the body. A shiatsu treatment may be performed on a thick floor mat,
or on a low treatment table. As no oils or lotions are used, you are requested
to wear loose comfortable clothing. At the initial treatment, a complete
medical history is taken along with a through assessment of your condition.
Progress and changes are recorded at each subsequent visit.
During treatment, the therapist applies sustained pressure to the body surface.
The amount of pressure applied is always dependent on your individual condition.
Shiatsu therapy is designed to stimulate the body’s innate healing
and balancing mechanisms. Shiatsu treatments stimulate the autonomic nervous
system (ANS) through the application of varying degrees of pressure. The
results are improved body functioning, decreased pain, tension and stiffness,
increased range of motion of joints and improved flexibility.
