We at Zenki offer a range of treatments. Some are combined with Traditional Shiatsu sessions and some can be received as treatments in their own right.

Zen Shiatsu - This is the basic and most popular form of shiatsu. It is ideal for general wellbeing, as well as being able to address specific complaints (issues with digestion, menstruation, headaches, stress, tension, aches and pains, postural problems to name only a few!). We will use stretching and traction, apply pressure on points with thumbs, fingers knees or elbows, massage and manipulate muscles and joint depending on what is needed.

Sports Shiatsu - Shiatsu is ideal for anyone who partakes regularly in sporting activity and would like a general maintainence treatment to help prevent injuries and improve performance due to increased flexibility or range of motion. Treatments can also be tailored for rehabilitation after injury.

Shiatsu for Pregnancy & Childbirth - Shiatsu is ideal for all stages of pregnancy and can even be used in childbirth.
It can help with general aches and pains such as back ache, swollen ankles, morning sickness, tiredness. We can also provide exercises to prepare you for labour as well as run joint sessions with your partner to show them techniques which you can use at home or in labour. Shiatsu is also useful for treating any fertility problems.

Cranial Sacral Therapy - CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the function of a physiological body system called the CranioSacral system.

The treatment itself involves the application of very light forces applied by the therapist's hands. Limbs may be picked up and moved gently and slowly as the body tissues are allowed to 'unwind' themselves.

Moxa - Moxa is the herb mugwort which is rolled into sticks, cones or strips and burnt over areas of the body. The smoke and heat penetrates into sore areas or over acupressure points to promote healing and can be felt as deep warmth.

Cupping - This involves creating a vacuum in glass cups which are then placed on areas of the body, the suction created helps to remove toxins from the body and it also creates a deep pleasant relaxing feeling on the area concerned.

Cupping is ideal for aches and pains of the large muscle groups so is ideal for anyone involved in physical work or sports and it can be combined with an oil based massage over the area to be cupped.

Facial - A Shiatsu facial is also known as a ‘holistic facelift’ and it utilises acupressure points around the face and head and can benefit the skin, eyes, sinuses and when combined with a neck and shoulder treatment it can be extremely relaxing.

Ampuku - This involves deep pressure around the abdomen, or belly area. It connects directly to all your body systems and helps to boost your immune system and create a feeling of well-being. It is a extremely relaxing and peaceful treatment. If done on a regular basis it can create inner harmony both physically and mentally.

Nutrition - We can provide both western and eastern nutrition advice ranging from devising daily meal plans for your everyday needs to recommending foods as medicine to help with any presenting complaints.
