What is shiatsu massage?

Shiatsu is an Asian bodywork form of massage. The term "Shiatsu" in Japanese translates to "finger pressure".

Traditional Shiatsu massage therapy relies on the use the fingers, thumbs and palm to apply pressure to various areas of the body’s surface without oil. Our Salon provides treatment on the massage table. Pressure applied to points on the body promotes energy flow and corrects disharmonies throughout the patient's body.

In addition to being a deeply relaxing experience, Shiatsu helps relieve stress, treat pain and illness, and contributes to a patient's overall health and wellbeing.

Shiatsu works to improve overall health by affecting the internal energy system.
