Timings/Costs/Sessions Treatment times vary and your first appointment will usually take a little longer while the shiatsu practitioner gains an idea of your condition and explains the therapy to you. Expect your first session to last up to an hour and a half. Subsequent sessions will usually be an hour in length with some practitioners offering 30 minute sessions As a general guide, a first session can cost from £30 – £60 with subsequent sessions slightly lower but be aware that prices vary from town to town and practitioner’s overheads vary so check first before making an appointment. Home visits will usually incur an extra charge You may find that you feel the benefits of shiatsu from your first treatment and after your first two or three appointments you and your shiatsu practitioner will have a good idea of its effectiveness. It’s recommended that a course last between six and ten treatments but will often be based on your progress. Many people continue with the therapy even when their condition has cleared up Is it for you? Shiatsu is a safe and effective therapy when practised by a trained shiatsu practitioner and is widely used for a number of conditions. It’s important to check training and membership to an approved association before making an appointment Shiatsu is not recommended for people who have just had surgery or have open wounds and skin disorders. Anyone suffering with heart disease or osteoporosis should consult their GP before making an appointment and those with blood clot problems should avoid the therapy as there is a risk of the clot being dislodged Pregnant women have benefited from the therapy but certain pressure points on the body should be avoided so make sure you find a practitioner who has experience in this area
