What is Shiatsu Massage?

Shiatsu massage is a calming, pressure-point style of massage rooted in Japanese tradition. Instead of long gliding strokes, the therapist uses steady finger, thumb, and palm pressure along the body's natural lines to release tension and restore a grounded sense of balance.

Questions

About shiatsu massage

Is shiatsu painful?

No. The pressure is firm but comfortable, and we adjust it to you at any time during the session.

Do I keep my clothes on for shiatsu?

You stay comfortably draped; shiatsu works well with steady pressure through a sheet, and we make sure you are completely at ease.

How is shiatsu different from Swedish?

Swedish uses long, flowing strokes; shiatsu uses steady finger and palm pressure at points along the body.
