The Zen Shiatsu Session

Everyone is special

"we view the patient in terms of his/her body as unique from anyone else's and take into consideration her/his basic constitution"

-Shisuto Masunaga-

What to expect in a session ?

 

The patient lies on a futon or treatment table and remains fully clothed. No oils are used. Loose, comfortable clothing is recommended.

The Zen Shiatsu therapist will perform a session which consists of sustained pressure on specific points and gentle stretches, which releases muscle tension, induces deep relaxation, supports weak areas, increases blood flow, removes stiffness and aches from muscles and opens up the joints. 

During the first treatment, a detailed story will be compiled in order to assist the therapist in learning about the specific energy patterns in your body and customize the treatment. 

Treatment is usually offered in 60-minute sessions.
