Swedish massageSwedish massage is the systematic manipulation of the soft tissues of the body to improve circulatory, muscular, and nervous system functioning, and is often given for the benefits of relaxation. It is received unclothed, between full-coverage sheets, exposing the portion of the body being massaged.ShiatsuShiatsu is a Japanese form of bodywork commonly referred to as acupressure. The practitioner uses direct thumb and finger pressure on points of the body which present a unique texture and sensitivity. Tight, cramped, knotted muscles are relaxed, as is pressure on joints, nerve pathways, and energetic channels. This restores suppleness, ease of motion, and function to the body. Shiatsu therapy, therefore, is specific to your body as it allows the therapist to read the areas of need unique to you.RecommendationYou may receive Shiatsu exclusively, or for the ultimate in relaxation and therapeutic benefit, I recommend a combination of Shiatsu and Swedish massage.
