Following a treatment, there can be a feeling of increased vitality and you may find that you feel invigorated, yet relaxed.
You may have a reaction to the treatment, but research shows that people usually return for a second visit if this happens. It can be
- an old symptom returning for the last time
- a ‘healing crisis’ like a cold or temporary sickness to allow the body to release toxins
- a state which encourages the receiver to do what is needed eg to rest.

Guidelines for receiving Shiatsu
- Please bring or wear loose, warm, comfortable clothing, preferably cotton e.g. sweatshirt, tracksuit trousers and cotton socks.
- Do not eat too much in the two hours prior to treatment.
- Do not drink alcohol before or after treatment.
- After treatment drink plenty of water to smooth the flow of changes through the system.
- It is best to avoid strenuous or stressful activities after your session.
