Shiatsu is a massage style of Japanese origin based on finger and palm pressure; the name means finger pressure in Japanese. The therapist uses thumbs, palms and sometimes elbows to apply rhythmic pressure along the body lines, and may add gentle stretches. It is usually done without oil and in clothing. The U.S. National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) lists practices such as shiatsu and tuina among the massage traditions from Eastern cultures. Evidence for the health benefits of massage is limited in many areas; shiatsu should also be seen as a calm relaxation experience. The therapist often applies pressure using their own body weight. Each point is held under steady pressure for a few seconds, and the pressure is adjusted to your response.
Sessions usually last around 60 minutes. The length is listed on the profile.
It suits people who want a calm-paced pressure session done without oil and in clothing.
If you have osteoporosis, a spine disorder, take blood thinners, have a history of a leg clot, are pregnant or had recent surgery, talk to your doctor.
The session is usually done on a mat on the floor or on a low table, in comfortable clothing. The therapist works through the areas in turn, holding finger and palm pressure on specific points for a few seconds. You can ask for the pressure to be raised or lowered at any time.
