Putting Pressure Where It’s Really Needed!
The word Shiatsu refers to pressure, as this style of Japanese massage relies heavily on the therapist using their hands, elbows, knees and even feet to apply deep pressure across the body at specific pressure points.
This massage will energize the whole body and restore vitality. Muscles and joints will have an improved range of motion, and aches and pains will be alleviated.
Shiatsu Japanese massage involves the pulling of limbs to stretch them, holding limbs in restorative positions for short durations of time, and also the therapist leaning into key meridians along the body to increase natural energy flow. Shiatsu is like a modified form of acupressure so this type of massage is deep and intense.
