Clinic Days
Shiatsu Training Clinic Information
Our supervised training clinics run from the autumn till late spring, with senior students offering low-cost treatments. Some dates are mornings only and others have sessions available both morning and afternoon. Please see the table for details.
You must pre-book by email or phone on details below.
What's involved?
The Glasgow School of Shiatsu runs supervised training clinics in order for our final year students (and occasionally 2nd year students) to have experience of working with the public in a clinical setting.
The clinic takes place in a large room with up to four people receiving treatment at one time.Therefore you will be in a room with others when you have your session. Sessions last one hour. The clinics are supervised by senior Teachers from the Glasgow School of Shiatsu, who are there to assist the students and to ensure that receivers have an appropriate and relaxing treatment.
The student will ask you some questions about your general health and any specific issues (e.g. sore back, headaches), and will work out a treatment for you. Please make the student and supervising Teacher aware of any serious health conditions you may have. As we practice traditional Shiatsu, the session will take place on a futon at floor level; cushions for comfortable padding are provided.Please also be aware that these students are in training, so may be nervous, or may need intervention or corrections from the Teacher.
Where do they take place?
Our clinic takes place at The Theosophical Society, 17 Queens Crescent, Glasgow G4 9BL. Close to St Georges Cross underground in the Charing Cross area. See map below.
There are ample public transport links (bus and underground close by); parking on Queens Crescent is payable so we suggest that you park on Lyndoch Street.
Please ring the to doorbell for the Library when you arrive and come up two floors to the Library. You will be welcomed into the practice room at your treatment time.
