Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing and energising treatment combining point release, massage techniques and stretches. It eases aching muscles, increases vitality and relieves fatigue. With it’s roots in traditional Chinese medicine, shiatsu aims to promote the flow of vital energy (also known as “chi”) and facilitate healing. According to the principles of traditional medicine, blockages in the flow of energy can contribute to a wide range of illnesses. Shiatsu is done in a traditional Japanese room on a futon with the earthy scent of the tatami mats encouraging deep relaxation. No massage oil is used so you will need to wear loose or stretchy, comfortable clothing. It is the perfect complement to your stay at a traditional Japanese inn.

Duration: 60 minutes.

Reflexology
Reflexology is a simple and effective form of non-invasive healing. It is based on the idea that reflex points on the feet, hands and ears correspond with parts of the body, and by stimulating these points there will be a direct effect upon the corresponding area. Reflexologists are trained to identify imbalances in the body and aim to bring the body back into balance. Reflexology is beneficial for muscular, skeletal, digestive, reproductive and respiratory conditions, as well as stress.
