In order to gain the most benefit from treatment here are some simple guidelines to follow:

• Avoid heavy meals and alcohol on the day of treatment. Have a light meal at least one hour before your session

• For the treatment, wear loose clothing, preferably cotton such as a jogging suit. For a shiatsu treatment, you remain full clothed for the treatment.

• If applicable, have details of current medial diagnosis and any medication you may be taking

• After a treatment, do not do any strenuous physical exercise e.g. go to the gym, move furniture.

• Do not take pain medication before the treatment if possible.

• There may be a temporary healing reaction as bio-chemicals and emotions are releases; these may take the form of a headache, tiredness, aches in joints and muscles or flu like symptoms which can last for 24-48 hrs maximum – and you may wish to contact me for advice.
