Shiatsu
Developed in Japan, shiatsu is a finger-pressure technique utilizing the traditional acupuncture points of Oriental healing. Similar to acupressure, shiatsu concentrates on unblocking the flow of life energy and restoring balance in the meridians and organs in order to promote self-healing. With the client reclining, the practitioner applies pressure with the finger, thumb, palm, elbow, or knee to specific zones on the skin located along the energy meridians. The treatment brings about a sense of relaxation while stimulating blood and lymphatic flow. The benefits of this treatment may include pain relief and a strengthening of the body’s resistance to disease and disorder.
Each massage is specifically designed to meet your particular needs by your therapist. He or she may draw from modalities such as relaxation, deep tissue, structural integration, shiatsu, cranial sacral, subtle body work, Jin Shin, hot and/or cold stone therapy and Thai massage.
Note: Pricing begins at $65 per hour. Please discuss pricing with your therapist.
