ESSENTIAL READING FOR HEALTH – CONSCIOUS WOMEN
Giving and receiving relaxing and therapeutic touch are the essence of this increasingly popular healing art. The basics are easy to learn and the simple techniques often give profound results. You’ll feel stress just melt away!
Originating from traditional Japanese medicine, shiatsu literally means ‘finger pressure’. Pressure and stretching techniques are applied along the body’s energy channels, encouraging self-healing, rebalancing the body, and easing both mental and physical tension.
Suitable for the complete beginner as well as those with experience, this book is an excellent practical guide to shiatsu, with an emphasis on women’s health concerns. Including both basic self-treatment and shiatsu for two, it will show you how shiatsu can help with:
• Pregnancy and Childbirth
• Menstrual and Gynaecological Problems
• Beauty and Sexuality
• Common Complaints, such as Backache and Headache
Ray Ridolfi and Susanne Franzen are Co-Principals of the British School of Shiatsu-Do™ and both leading shiatsu practitioners.
