Report
A Shiatsu success story! After suffering with lower back pain for over a year (and basically getting nowhere with the NHS) I decided to try another approach and went for private treatment with an osteopath and then a chiroptractor - costly!!! With limited results. Then a colleague recommended that I try shiatsu (she had been "cured" of a similar problem). So, on her recommendation but with much much scepticism, I made an appointment with Des Lawton at Pro Holistic in East Kilbride. My sceptisism was missplaced as I felt a marked improvement after the first session. A few treatments later and I was as good as new. Des has my thanks and as many referals as I can give him.
