Welcome to Connective Space Shiatsu! Shiatsu is a form of bodywork that relieves stress and anxiety, eases pain and helps to ground and rebalance us. It can support both long term health issues; or acute pain and illness.

Shiatsu really helps support you in your everyday life - body, heart and mind. It also incredibly relaxing to receive - you don't have to be ill to receive shiatsu!

Originating in Japan from Chinese Traditional Medicine, with influences from more Western therapies, Shiatsu seeks to balance, support and strengthen the body's natural ability to heal itself. The shiatsu practitioner working on a clothed body, uses gentle pressure via thumb, fingers, hands and elbows to connect with channels of energy in the body and acupressure points.

A shiatsu session takes place on a futon (low mat on the floor) or on a chair, with the receiver fully clothed.
