Fitzroy Shiatsu

A small table sits on the side of the futon with the practitioners tools to assist in giving the most appropriate correction to the person receiving the treatment. Depending on the practitioner these tools may include cupping, oils, accu-needling and moxibustio (heat therapy) or the manaka hammer. Most treatments consist of palming and thumb pressure techniques. There are elements of "deep tissue" type work integrated with release and holding points under steady pressure. Treatments are totally adapted to the receiver. They concentrate on "building the persons energy" to restore deeper strength and vitality.
