Harvard Square Shiatsu

Specialties

Shiatsu is a traditional form of Asian bodywork designed to enhance and restore health. Through the application of pressure and stretching techniques shiatsu relieves muscle tension, eases joint stiffness and realigns the structure of the body. Pressure along energy pathways of the body moves stagnant energy, clears energy blocks and brings the body into balance. Shiatsu works on a physical, emotional and spiritual plane. Treatment is deeply relaxing and has an overall calming effect, allowing the body the opportunity to heal itself. Regular Shiatsu sessions help to prevent the build up of stress.

Shiatsu is performed through clothing. The session takes place on a shiatsu mat at floor level or a massage chair or table. Please wear or bring loose, warm, comfortable clothing and socks. Following a Shiatsu session people often say that they feel relaxed, calm, balanced and invigorated to take on life’s challenges. First time clients — mention Yelp and receive 1 hour for only $ 60!
