I believe Shiatsu is just what you need. You might have found that sweedish massage, deep tissue or sports massages have given you the relaxation that you needed but your back is still hurting ? Your headaches don't seem to abate ? That your practitioner might have relaxed your muscles but the effects/benefits don't last ? Well, try Shiatsu ! I have been trained to look at all aspects of your glorious Self : your structure, your postural patterns and the way your energy is distributed in your body and why. Shiatsu combines a broad scope of approaches to look at a condition, which include the all important musculo-skeletal and myofascial system AS WELL AS the oriental approach of vital energy imbalances.

Shiatsu is a Japanese word and you (I am guessing here) don't speak Japanes so chances are you don't know what it might mean. Well, here is the answer : the literal translation is "finger pressure". During the treatment, pressure is applied to various parts of the body (meridians and pressure points), to "awaken" areas that might be "asleep" or to soothe areas that are overactive. Treatments include, if appropriate, stretches to release the muscles and connective tissue and techniques to mobilize stiff joints. We will also be working energetically to free restricted areas in the spinal column, if needed. Shiatsu is a powerful therapy and one of the primary benefits of the session is to help your body switch to relaxing and replenishing mode. This is especially indicated in this day and age for people who find themselves stuck in "fight and flight" mode.

It will help for symptoms including stress, back pain, joint pain, stiffness, digestive problems, headaches, insomnia, painful menstruation to name a few, or simply to have deep relaxing experience. You can have a one off session but with specific complains, best results are achieved by a course of 6 to 8 sessions.

"Samuel’s gentle but deep touch and his natural calmness are conducive to deep relaxation and will help you to go into regenerating mode".
