New feedback from a Shiatsu patient with heart problems..

To whom it may concern.
 
In November 2013 I suffered an ‘atrial flutter’ and was to be scheduled for a ‘cardioversion’ early in the new year to correct my heartbeat. In the interim I attended for a cardiac ‘scan’ and it was found that the heartbeat had corrected itself, which I gather is not that common an occurrence. The senior medical physics technician asked what I had been doing (that may have helped) and I explained that I was having Shiatsu massage and was meditating and doing’ cardiac coherence’ exercises. He felt sure this would have certainly helped.
I would also add that my weight has continued to fall and due to this my blood sugar levels have been very near normal levels much to the great surprise of my Practice nurse at my last assessment. (I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes about 10 years ago). Again I think the Shiatsu has played a large part in this.

I received a forwarded email from a colleague recently about a medical student from Newcastle University who we had both taught in 2012. She wrote this:

I wanted to let you know I mentioned your SSC to a medical student who is interested in being a GP and she seems really interested. She also had a baby this year. I told her we were able to see patients which was very helpful and that I’ve been able to use my knowledge this year. I can’t remember if I told you but I was able to use shiatsu pressure technique on a person in incredible pain who was panicking so much the nurses couldn’t give the pain meds. The technique worked to stop the panic. I was thanked by patient and nurses. It was a good feeling! I hope you are doing very well!

Some more feedback from a client visiting www.thetherapycentrehexham.com:

Hi you Hexhamites or near Hexhamites
Hope you’re all well. Yesterday I went to the Therapy Centre in Hexham for a Shiatsu treatment with Dominic Cleary. The whole experience was so good I thought you might want to know about it.

The Therapy Centre is the largest in the N of England, and apparently it’s been open a couple of months or so. The large building itself is interesting too; it was an old workhouse. The space I was in was really calm and pleasant, and the cafe with home-made soups, cakes, as well as peace and love, was funky. It’s in Corbridge Rd opposite the hospital. www.therapycentrehexham.com

Some of you may remember that I was really into Tai Chi and Qigong; that’s my connection here: I have learned those with Dominic over the past 12 years. He’s doing 2 for 1 on Shiatsu until the end of June. Shiatsu’s good for any musculo-skeletal twinges or injuries, and lots else too. Those legions building Hadrian’s Wall could really have done with this place.
Regards to all

Another email from a new Tai Chi student (2013):

”The two classes I’ve attended have been amazing! Talk about chi energy being released! After a tough year I felt that my first class with you unblocked so much stuff and I’ve been warm from the inside out ever since! 

I really like the pace of your class – (I’ve attended too many classes where it feels like you’re being fast-tracked through the process and then I often get the sinking feeling that I’m not doing it properly), so the way you explain everything and the relaxed pace is perfect for me, I really believe your way of teaching is a confidence builder.

Oh – one more thing, I’m noticing when I’m moving with fluidity and when I’m moving in a tense staccato way, after only two classes I’m already wanting to move with more ease and flow!

Thanks Dominic.
Take care.
Bridget.”
