A Shiatsu session begins with an initial interview to establish the history and specific needs of the client. It is recommended to come to the session in light, comfortable clothing, preferably with arms and legs covered. The session takes place on the floor on a massage futon. During the session, the practitioner will use pressure on specific points on the body, breathing techniques and stretching to relieve tension and stress in the body. The Shiatsu session generally lasts between 45 minutes and 1 hour, and the total time from the time the client arrives to the time they leave usually does not exceed an hour and a half. An additional advantage of Shiatsu is that it has no adverse side effects, making it safe and effective for virtually all ages and conditions. In summary, a Shiatsu session is a unique experience that can help relieve physical and emotional stress, improve sleep quality and restore balance and harmony to the body and mind.
