Shiastu massage tried and tested
The result
This is an extremely gentle massage - do not expect any deep pummelling, the 'feel good' factor is not muscular and so you do not walk out feeling instantly rejuvenated. The number of sessions varies from case to case and the benefits are ideally preventative, felt gently over the course of treatment.
And for me, despite the odds being not exactly in my favour, my energy flow was assessed as very good. Feeling like I had aced the test and fishing for more, I ask what exactly that means - essentially I am of very good health (which she explains with a mild tone of disbelief in her voice).
Shiatsu treatments are becoming increasingly available nationwide at various alternative health clinics, NHS centres, gyms and spas. To ensure you are getting proper Shiatsu treatment, look for:
- A qualified Shiatsu practitioner has graduated from college with specific training in the area, enabling them to practice professionally
- A further qualification is denoted by the initials MRSS after their name: Member of the Register of the Shiatsu Society (not a compulsory qualification)
You can check whether practitioners are registered with the society either by emailing the Shiatsu Society at
