Specialised techniques offered at NBHW

Shiatsu

A healing form of massage, Shiatsu stimulates the energy flow in the body for well being and peace of mind.

Shiatsu is a  gentle therapeutic way to release tension and physical symptoms, Shiatsu can be effective for:

  • headaches
  • insomnia
  • neck stiffness
  • backache
  • low energy level

Why Shiatsu?

Imagine lying down in very comfortable clothes, on a futon mattress, allowing your body to soften and sink into the ground. Deep but gentle pressure is applied by the practitioner along your energy pathways or meridians. These meridians relate to major organs in the body and Shiatsu activates and enhances their function.

Lymphatic Drainage

Your lymphatic system is a vital part of your body’s healing, cleansing and regenerative process. Unlike the cardio-vascular system, the lymphatic system doesn’t rely on a pump. It relies on muscular activity to function.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a proven method of stimulating fluid movement in the tissues through gentle rhythmic strokes, which:

  • facilitate lymph circulation
  • relax the nervous system
  • assist in the removal of wastes and toxins from the body
  • promote healthy functioning of the immune system

It can help treat common symptoms such as:

  • fluid retention and bloating
  • sinus congestion
  • headaches
  • lethargy

All our Massage Therapists are specialised in Lymphatic Drainage
