Shiatsu Workshops 26 - 29 April, 2008

Shi = finger, atsu = pressure massage, is a wonderfully effective form of bodywork incorporating techniques for relief of stress, tension & pain, and strengthen any weak areas by balancing acupuncture points, gentle stretching, corrective exercises and nutrition.
Zen Shiatsu has been used for many centuries in Japan for relaxation and sports injuries. It is often very effective for common ailments such as sciatica, back, neck and shoulder pain, migraine and headaches, digestive disorders, respiratory problems, menstrual difficulties, and general fatigue.
