As a Friend of the MS Care Centre, they will run a number of events nationwide throughout October offering sample sessions for donations to the FoMSCC fund.
Diana Cassidy from the Shiatsu Society of Ireland says, "As some of our members already work with MS sufferers and have done so for many years in some cases, it was decided that our events would help a cause close to their hearts".
Shiatsu is a traditional form of Body Therapy with its origins in Japan and has been shown to help many conditions, relieve the build up of stress and to restore vitality and well-being by balancing the flow of energy (Chi) in the meridians as used by acupuncturists.
Comments from some people with MS who have had Shiatsu claim that "it has helped me feel like a million dollars" and "I have found Shiatsu to be far more effective than any other hands-on therapy I have had".
