Welcome to Cambridge Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a traditional hands-on Japanese healing art. The word Shiatsu means "finger-pressure" - a treatment incorporating gentle manipulations, stretches and pressure exerted using fingers, thumbs and palms to various points on the body. It is based on the same underlying philosophy and principles as acupuncture.

Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing experience and can help in a wide range of conditions - from specific injuries to more general symptoms of poor health. Regular Shiatsu sessions help to prevent the build up of stress in our daily lives and therefore, the potential for disease to manifest.

Common conditions which can be helped include:

• back and joint pain and stiffness
• headaches, migraines
• menstrual problems
• digestive problems
• asthma
• sports injuries
• depression, anxiety and stress

It can also be very beneficial during pregnancy and childbirth and provides many general health benefits such as providing a positive, uplifting feeling, easing tension, relaxing the mind and improving circulation and posture.
