A Shiatsu treatment consists of pressure being applied to specific points on the body using the thumb, fingers and palm. Shiatsu translates to "finger pressure".

A full treatment lasts between 1 1/4 hours and 1 1/2 hours.

Treatments are given through clothing and it is advised that you wear loose comfortable clothes (cotton is preferable). It is also requested that you do not smoke, eat or drink for one hour before a treatment. A shower shortly before a treatment will improve the effectiveness of the session as this stimulates blood flow and the body.
