SHIATSU THERAPY & INTEGRATED MOVEMENT

FOR CHILDREN, ADULTS & ATHLETES

Individual

Sessions

Personalized work to help you feel, move, and function better.

Integrated

Practice

Individual sessions draw on Shiatsu Therapy, physical development, movement education, and body awareness and regulation, with the approach shaped around your needs and goals.

Shiatsu

Therapy

Through touch, pressure, stretching, and joint mobilization, Shiatsu offers a way to assess and work with muscular tension, restricted movement, and how you feel and function in your body.

Guided by observation, touch, and principles from Zen Shiatsu and Chinese medicine, treatment responds to areas of tension, sensitivity, and restriction.

The choice of techniques, depth, and intensity is adapted to your condition, needs, and responses.

Physical

Development

Adapted physical exercise develops strength, mobility, stability, coordination, and conditioning for everyday life, work, and sport.

Through assessment of movement, physical capacity, and individual limitations, exercises are selected and progressively adapted.

This can involve rebuilding capacity after injury or reduced activity, improving movement and strength, or working towards new physical goals, with attention to technique, effort, and recovery.

Movement

Education

Movement exploration develops posture, alignment, balance, coordination, and whole-body integration, with attention to how different parts of the body work together.

Drawing on martial arts, Taiji, Qigong, and other physical disciplines, movement is observed, practised, and refined through repetition and feedback.

Exercises are adapted to your abilities and goals, developing greater control, awareness, and practical movement skills for everyday life and physical activity.

Body Awareness &

Regulation

Recognising changes in your physical and emotional state, including tension, fatigue, agitation, and concentration, develops greater awareness of how your body responds to activity, effort, and everyday situations.

Breathing, bodily sensations, attention, and movement offer ways to recognize these responses and influence them.

Through guided practice and personal exploration, the capacity to calm down, regain focus, adjust effort, or become more alert and engaged can be developed.

What we can work on together

You may come with a particular concern, a goal, or a wish to feel and function better:

Easing physical tension or discomfort.
Rebuilding strength, mobility, and confidence after injury or a period of reduced activity.
Developing strength, conditioning, and physical capacity for everyday life, work, or sport.
Exploring posture, balance, coordination, and movement skills.
Developing body awareness, breathing, and the ability to settle or adjust your level of effort.

What an individual session can involve

Conversation, relevant history, observation, and assessment help establish a starting point. Findings and possible directions are discussed together, with room for your questions, preferences, and feedback.

A session may centre on Shiatsu, adapted physical exercise, movement exploration, or a combination. Methods and intensity are adjusted according to your responses and progress, with attention to your comfort and willingness.
