Shiatsu with Jan Murphy MRSS

by

Shiatsu is an elegant, restorative, sometimes truly relaxing therapeutic experience. At other times, it can be revitalising and replenishing. In Shiatsu, touch is the most significant method of diagnosing your energy levels, I may lightly touch the diagnostic areas on the abdomen (called Hara in Japanese) or the back that relate to each meridian. A case history is taken to attain information about you, your medical history, aches and pains, sleep patterns and dietary preferences. These methods allow me to diagnose your current condition from an Oriental Medicine perspective.

Stress in the Workplace and Shiatsu

by

In the UK it is estimated that work-related stress is responsible for six million days of sick leave a year, with stress being linked to many minor and major illnesses. Shiatsu is one of the most practical forms of body work for the corporate environment as it can be carried out with the receiver fully clothed at their desk or on a mat on the floor. No oils are necessary so the receiver can resume working with no fuss or mess.
