A Shiatsu treatment with Ian can incorporate these styles.

Reflexology
Trained in the Eunice Ingham method initially.
studying with the Mary Martin School of Reflexology west London.
Reflexology is received on the feet and hands.
The origins of Reflexology are seen in ancient Egypt as inscriptions found in the physician’s tomb at Saqqara in Egypt. The hieroglyphics translate as
"Don’t hurt me." The practitioner’s reply:- "I shall act so you praise me."
We cannot determine the exact relationship between the ancient art as practiced by the early Egyptians and Reflexology as we know it today.
American Indian, Scandinavian, Thai and other ancient world cultures have histories of reflexology.

Thai Yoga Massage

Thai Massage School of Chiang Mai in Thailand.
Similar to early yoga practise.
