The treatment is performed on a thick futon in a quiet & still room. Soothing music is played to ensure you are comfortable & relaxed throughout the treatment.
It is important to wear a comfortable, long sleeved cotton top during the treatment and loose cotton trousers. Please remember to remove earrings, necklaces & watches, and switch off any distractions (i.e. Mobile phones).

How many treatments will I need?
The benefits of Shiatsu are increased with continued treatments so a course of five or more sessions is usually recommended. The sessions can be weekly or fortnightly initially, and topped up on a monthly basis.
However, if you simply want to receive a Shiatsu for relaxtion purposes then treatment can be as often as you feel necessary.
