Shiatsu is Japanese for finger pressure. This powerful treatment involves applying pressure on the meridians (energetic channels that run through all body parts) and working on the musculoskeletal system. The treatments awaken the body’s potential to heal itself. Shiatsu works on a deep and superficial level. Deep work induces a meditative state that encourages relaxation and reduces the effects of long-term stress, whilst superficial focuses on stretching and relaxing muscles, freeing up joints and realigning the spine. Regular sessions make a real difference to quality of life as well as preserving wellbeing and enhancing daily performance.
Shiatsu is available as a 60 min treatment for individuals at our centre in Surrey or as part of a programme for organisations. For the latter, please contact us to discuss.
Presenter Matthew Leavey
Matthew first came to Shiatsu through his 30 years of martial arts training. Having suffered various injuries, he discovered its ability to alleviate pain and this became his directing force towards learning Shiatsu and the healing arts. His early Shiatsu training inspired him to study 24 form Yang Style Tai Chi with Lei Lei Chu and he later returned to study Tai Chi Chuan Qi-Gong, Hsing Yi and Kung Fu with master Peter Warr. Matthew has incredible understanding of the rhythm and density of the human body and his Shiatsu sessions squeeze, bend and stretch the body to expertly work out any blockages, aches and pains that are caused by injury, inactivity, stress or illness. His clients range an entire demographic, from high-profile city bankers to professional athletes, octogenarians to infants. He treats each with vision, energy and empathy. He helped with the delivery of his own son using Shiatsu, tai chi and yoga with special breathing and hypnosis. As well as being extremely well qualified, Matthew works very much on an intuitive level. He specialises in Shiatsu-do, a style of Japanese acu-pressure massage. He holds a Dip BSSD in Shiatsu as well as a Dip BRSRM in Remedial Massage. He is a member of the Shiatsu Society and also has a Cert Ed Teaching Qualification from London’s Metropolitan University. His specialisms are: • Recovery and mobilisation from stress and exertion • Acupressure massage (Shiatsu) • Mind-calming and deep relaxation.
