SHIATSU
THE HISTORY OF SHIATSU
Shiatsu comes from the Japanese word Shi which means finger and atsu which means pressure and this alternative health practice dates back to the 6th century BC. Shiatsu is used to maintain good health. What we do in Shiatsu is apply finger pressure to different points of the body so that it helps to awaken the natural healing powers of the body and helps to clear physical and emotional blockages. Before we do any Shiatsu treatment on a person we must warm up the muscles like the back muscles leg muscles etc so that the body can start to open up to finger pressure.
THE BENEFITS OF SHIATSU ARE:
- Is that it can help to relieve stress and tensions

REFLEXOLOGY
HISTORY OF REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is about four thousand years old and was practiced by the Egyptians and the Chinese and they had believed that by applying pressure to the feet it can bring an increase in the functioning of other parts of the body. By stimulating the reflexes on the feet ,which would be a type of pressure massage, it would help to stimulate the organs of the body therefore helping them to heal. Also by stimulating the reflexes it will allow the body to begin detoxing and eliminating poisons, which have been built up in the body.
