Shiatsu Massage
Description
Balancing Your Body’s Energy:
Experience the ancient Japanese art of Shiatsu, a unique therapeutic bodywork designed to harmonize your body’s natural energy flow and promote deep well-being. The word “Shiatsu” translates to “finger pressure,” and that’s precisely what this profound treatment utilizes.
Unlike traditional oil-based massages, Shiatsu is typically performed with the client fully clothed on a comfortable mat or low table. Your therapist will apply rhythmic, sustained pressure using their thumbs, fingers, palms, elbows, and knees along your body’s energy pathways (meridians). This precise pressure, combined with gentle stretches and joint rotations, works to release blockages, alleviate tension, and stimulate your body’s innate healing capabilities.
Shiatsu aims to rebalance your vital energy (known as “Qi” or “Ki”), reducing stress, improving flexibility, and easing a wide range of physical discomforts, from headaches to back pain.
