    Baby it’s Cold Outside! Shiatsu for warmth, Exeter, Devon

    Woweee it’s as cold as they said it was going to be – my the wind is bitter & the cold is so sharp it gets into the bones & the core of the body. It is showing up any old aches & pains & is so tiring, to get through the day & to keep the body burning enough to ward off the cold.

    I am in Exeter this week, giving warming & energizing Shiatsu & I still have some spaces available – on Wednesday & Friday. The Shiatsu Shed, the wooden cabin in my garden, is super cosy. I have plenty of heaters & an electric blanket so getting on the mat & under the blanket can feel like getting into bed.

    Shiatsu is a gentle hands-on therapy that looks to balance the energy in the body. It can create a warmth in the core of the body & help with circulation right to the extremities. It can support the body’s natural immune system, to ward off coughs & colds. Shiatsu can help with energy levels, providing more resources, to generate heat, & energy for movement, vital in this cold weather. It may also help to ease the aches & pains that show up in this bitter cold weather.This week I am at home in Exeter – if you would like a warming Shiatsu do get it touch through the ‘Contact Me’ page – I’m always happy to answer any questions too.

    Keep warm this week:

    • Wear an extra pair of socks & even a pair in bed
    • Wrap a scarf around your lower back – keeping your Kidneys & Sacrum warm
    • Make a warming cup of fresh Ginger, Lemon & Honey
    • Wear a good hat & scarf around neck & dropped to also cover the chest

  • Shiatsu for Joint Pain, Exeter, Devon

    Shiatsu for Joint Pain, Exeter, Devon

    The longer I practice & the more cases I see the more I believe Shiatsu is really helpful for joint pain. It can be good for any pain, providing some level of pain relief but also supporting the client with the mental strain & tension that comes from dealing with pain.

    I have had clients who have come to me because they suffer with pain in their knees, hips, shoulders, wrists & fingers. Clients have mentioned, after their treatment, that their pain is less for some time.

    Shiatsu is a gentle hands-on therapy that works to balance the energy in the body. By holding the joint, or on either side of the joint, Shiatsu can ease the discomfort. There doesn’t need to be stretches or rotations of the joints to give a result, very gentle massage can really help. Sometimes it is appropriate to involve stretches & rotations in the treatment, this can loosen a joint, again giving relief from the symptoms.

    Shiatsu is a very supportive & nurturing form of therapy & can allow the client to feel supported. They don’t feel so alone when coping with the emotional & mental strain of dealing with the pain. Clients have also mentioned that they feel some of the mental & emotional stress eases, thoughts seems to flow more easily.

    Shiatsu can help with energy levels. It can also provide deep relaxation & can aid healthy sleep patterns. Getting proper relaxation & sleep & feeling more energised can help a client feel better & allow them to make positive changes that may help with their health & any pain they are experiencing.

    I love giving Shiatsu & hearing the results from the clients. I’m also always happy to talk Shiatsu so do get in touch through the’contact me’ page with any questions.
