Service Description

Table Shiatsu is a non-invasive, hands on therapy developed to balance the flow of Energy or Ki of the body. While the word Shiatsu is Japanese for "finger pressure", practitioners will often use their elbows, forearms, thumbs, and palms as well. Shiatsu practictioners believe there are 12 Meridians and pathways that circulate Ki throughout our bodies. While we cannot see Ki, it can be felt by each of us. When we feel joy, we feel a surge of Ki moving through our bodies. When we feel anxious or depressed, we feel the stagnation of Ki, making us feel stuck or unable to motivate. What to expect during treatment? Table Shiatsu is done over soft, comfortable clothing. Each of the 12 meridian pathways are massages using rhythmic, compressive pressure, inducing relaxation while simultaneously opening Meridian bloackages and revitalizing the flow of Ki. This style of massage offers the sedation benefits of Swedish Relaxation Massage with increased Ki flow to support overall health.
