Five Element Shiatsu

Specialties

Are you in pain? Do you have health concerns? Are you stressed? Have you ever tried Shiatsu?

Shiatsu is a Japanese manual therapy in which the practitioner uses their thumbs, fingers, elbows and knees to apply pressure to key areas of the body, (depending on the condition), to create a positive change. By working together with the client, the therapist helps the client to heal themselves by releasing tension and balancing energy pathways, called meridians, that run throughout the body. These meridians can also be thought of, (from a western perspective), as the vascular and nervous systems. Through Shiatsu, the therapist is able to assist in such conditions as; migraines, musculo-​skeletal issues, (ex: back, neck or joint pain), menstrual problems, fibromyalgia, stress, muscle pain, nerve impingement, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and much more. Please see the website for details of all treatments available, including pet shiatsu!
