‘The opportunity to have Shiatsu came through work, and I went for my first 20-minute session not really knowing much about what to expect. Liz explained what it involved and set to work on me.

‘I had been suffering with an awful lot of pain in my elbow which was affecting my arm and my neck – I think all those muscles had just tightened up. I couldn’t believe it – after 20 minutes I felt no pain in my neck or at the top of my arm.

‘As a result I made an appointment to go to Liz’s clinic for a one-hour Shiatsu session. She worked on me and also recommended some Aloe Vera pain relief spray, which I bought and used morning and night on the affected area for two weeks. I now get hardly any pain at all in my elbow – only the odd twinge.

After my experience with Liz I recommended her to everyone, and the next time she came in to work loads of people from my department signed up for Shiatsu!

'Even if you haven’t got specific pain, but spend time hunched over a computer or driving the car, the massage is very relaxing and beneficial.’
