Myotherapy Treatment

Shiatsu

Developed in Japen, Shiatsu is seen as a modality that promotes well-being and health.

The meaning of of the word Shiatsu is “finger pressure” – but practitioners don’t only use their thumbs, they can also can use their feet, knees, elbows and palms, of which is applied as perpendicular pressure over various parts of the body, resulting in a deeply therapeutic effect.

The goal of Shiatsu is to restore or reinforce the body’s own ability to function harmoniously and to encourage the immune system to protect itself against disease (‘dis-ease’).

As part of the healing process, Shiatsu integrates meridian therapy, point therapy, moxibustion, cupping, gua sha and corrective exercises.

Shiastis focus on stimulating the circulation of Blood and Qi (which is understood to be the ‘life force energy’) which supports and facilitates the nourishment and balance of the body and mind, as you can’t affect one without affecting the other.

Shiatsu works by reducing or eliminating stagnations that impede circulation and thus result in muscular tension and stress, while replenishing areas in the body that have been undernourished by blood flow and energy.

If there is an impairment or blockage of this Qi because of stress , illness, injury, or poor habits, then your shiatsu practitioner can assist the reactivation of your Qi by working on the meridians, and areas that are restricted. That said, whilst a disorder may present in one area of the body (e.g. lower back pain), there will be effects throughout your whole body, which is why your shiatsu practitioner more often than not, will treat the whole body.

The effects of shiatsu work on many of your systems, such as internal organs, muscles and joints, the endocrine system and the autonomic nervous system, and as such, has a profound effect on reducing stress and improving your posture.

The other things shiatsu can assist with are:

Headaches

PMS

Digestive disorders

Fatigue

Stress and anxiety

Musculoskeletal pain including lower back back, neck and joint pain.

Depending on the goals of the session, the effects may be stimulating and invigorating or calming and relaxing.

I used to see an amazing therapist back in the UK and I tried out several places since I moved. I have to say, I've struck gold after having found Michael at Greensborough Remedial Massage. Micheal listened to my issues and read through my scan reports before he started working. Michael is very thorough and attentive.I highly recommend Michael and he's absolutely awesome!!!read more

Thank you to Nicole and Liz. Reached out to the team a few years back with a knee injury and Liz... was incredible in working with me to get me back to where I needed to be. She was kind, understanding, gentle yet pushed me when I needed it most. The treatments allowed me to keep working and keptthe pain at bay and I began to heal. I’ve recently had the pleasure of seeing Nicole for myotherapy/remedial massage. She is the BEST in the business and I would recommend her / the team to EVERYONE!Nicole’s instinct and skills allow her to truly help your body and she can pinpoint exactly what is going on. She always makes me feel calm and taken care of and I walk out of there a better version of myself. Thank you Nicole for being a purely amazing soul and always accomodating me.read more
