Zen Shiatsu offers acupressure massage treatments in and around Edinburgh and Midlothian. Shiatsu, like acupuncture, is based on Oriental Medicine and aims to balance the body's energies through the use of acupressure massage techniques.
Shiatsu has a deeply relaxing effect on the body, calms the mind and produces a feeling of well-being. Regular sessions can help prevent the build-up of stress in your daily life. It is traditionally used as a preventative therapy as well as to treat acute and chronic conditions.

How can shiatsu help?
Shiatsu can help in a wide range of conditions – from specific injuries to more general symptoms of poor health. For instance:
- Back pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Neck stiffness and whiplash
- Joint pain and reduced mobility
- Menstrual problems
- Digestive problems
- Sports injuries
- Depression
- Stress and tension
- Low energy, tiredness
From the Western point of view, shiatsu works directly to calm the autonomic nervous system, which has the effect of calming nervous distress and increasing resistance to stress. By helping with blood and lymph circulation in the body, shiatsu helps to maintain and improve muscle tone and healthy internal organ functions. It is believed that shiatsu can also strengthen the immune system.
Regular and consistent shiatsu treatments can become an important aspect of preventive health care as well as treatment for existing symptoms.
