What happens at a Shiatsu session?
The massage is usually given with the receiver lying on the floor on a futon (a Japanese mattress), although some of our practitioners will treat you on a massage table. During the session, you may be asked to lie on your front, on your back or on your side. In order that you can relax, it is important that you let the practitioner know if you cannot lie in a particular position for any reason, or if you need additional support in order to be comfortable e.g. to have a cushion under your knees. In some circumstances, Shiatsu can be given in a sitting position.
