Description:

A Japanese form of Medical Therapy is a type of massage that is performed with you fully dressed, in comfortable clothes, on a very low table or on a floor mat. This massage can takes 1 ½ hrs.  to complete. so allow plenty of time for this treatment.  The therapist moves you through a series of joint movements, passive stretches, and uses a variety of compression (gentle, firm pressure) techniques including acupressure. 

Effects:

The word Shiatsu means finger pressure, though fingers are not the only tools used! Fists, knuckles, forearms, elbows, knees, and feet are used when appropriate. The compression techniques press on entire sequences or series of connected pressure points all over the body. They may be static or dynamic, slow or fast, superficial or deep, depending on your needs or condition. The therapist is working on specific meridians to stimulate entire sequences or series of connected pressure points in energy channels all over the body, allowing the body to get what it needs to heal itself.

Benefits:

Your muscles and joints completely relax, but you receive a specific therapeutic treatment designed for you and your health challenge,  Examples include headaches, asthma, muscle/joint dysfunctions, allergies, balancing hormones, boosting the immune system, balancing emotions, and more.
When you call for your appointment, you will set up a time to speak to the therapist to determine your specific needs and the time you will need to allow for this treatment and  to get pre-massage instructions.
