Patrick Sterlin
Zenthai Shiatsu Therapist
in the Byron Shire
Experience powerful therapeutic bodywork to restore and maintain space and movement in your body so you can be pain-free.
Zenthai Shiatsu weaves together the arts of Zen Shiatsu, Traditional Thai massage, and Osteopathy, stretching your body so it can realign itself and let go of unnecessary tensions.
What is Zenthai Shiatsu?
A vibrant health requires blood and energy (Qi) to flow freely throughout the body. However, restrictions or even blockages can sometimes happen, due to stress, inappropriate diet, emotional or physical trauma, postural imbalances or even the invasion of external pathogens. When left untreated these conditions may end up manifesting as illness.
Traditional Chinese Medicine provides diagnostic tools to help detect those blockages at an early stage and Zen Shiatsu allows to restore the balance through acupressure, cupping, moxibustion and diet and lifestyle advice. It also integrates Traditional Thai Massage to release muscular tension and energetic blockages, as well as Osteopathic techniques to free and bring space in articulations.
My intention is to assist your body in restoring and maintaining its balance. Each session is uniquely designed for your needs and will take you into a graceful dance, alternating between stretches and deep pressure, rocking and stillness… Let your body unravel stored tensions in what is sometimes referred to as 'lazy Yoga'. Allow your nervous system to drop down into a deeply relaxed state, where your body can realign and heal itself.
Sessions happen on a mat on the floor and you remain fully clothed. They are followed by specific diet and lifestyle advice, as well as custom stretches that will help you maintain your open state in the long term.
I am passionate about helping you be the best version of yourself, your greatest gift to the world.
