Andrew Scott
Shiatsu Massage in Liverpool

My aim is to offer you the best of both worlds - the holistic approach of shiatsu which uses an energy-based approach based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the theory that underpins acupuncture, and the modern, evidence-based approach to the body that physiotherapy provides to help with common musculoskeletal problems. To find out more about this combined approach see ’My Background & FAQ’, left.

I am really excited by the potential offered by combining these different approaches and the feedback from clients is very positive:


“What do I like about shiatsu? A pain free back." Dr Paul Rose, GP, Liverpool.

"After a session I feel entirely revived." Lorna Wolf, full time mum, Knowsley.

"I notice better energy levels and concentration." Ed Statham, sales director, Liverpool.

I offer

Hands-on treatment using techniques from shiatsu and physiotherapy with the aim of providing immediate relaxation or relief from symptoms. Typically this will include pressure, mobilisations and stretches. In most cases my treatments are done through clothing but if I need to assess or treat you partially unclothed I will explain why and seek your consent.

For your comfort I use a variable height treatment table at both my clinics rather than working on the floor as shiatsu is traditionally done. (see ‘Hands On Treatment’, left).

Relaxation and rehabilitation exercises to improve your sense of wellbeing, prevent recurrence of problems and provide lasting benefits. These exercises, stretches, breathing and relaxation techniques are based on my training in both shiatsu and physiotherapy and are especially helpful for anxiety and stress management. (See ‘Relaxation and rehabilitation exercises’, left.)

Many of these techniques are contained in my book ‘Mind Your Body’ which has now been republished by Cornish Connection, and is available from Amazon (ISBN no. 978 0 948603 07 5, price £9.95). (See ‘Mind Your Body’, left.)

I also have many years experience in Zen meditation (see ‘My Background’, left).

Mentoring and Support for practitioners. Based on my 15 years experience as a shiatsu teacher I also offer mentoring and support for other practitioners. (See ‘Mentoring & Professional Practice Support’, left).
