What Is Shiatsu Massage?
Shiatsu massage is a traditional Japanese therapy that uses finger, thumb, palm, and gentle body pressure along specific pathways in the body.
Rather than long strokes or oils, Shiatsu focuses on rhythmic pressure applied through clothing to help release tension, promote relaxation, and support the body’s natural balance.
Many clients seeking care at McNamara Massage Therapist choose Shiatsu massage for its calming, grounding effects and non-invasive approach.
How Shiatsu Massage Sessions Work
Each session begins with a brief discussion of how you’re feeling physically and emotionally.
Shiatsu massage may include:
- Rhythmic pressure applied with fingers, palms, or thumbs
- Gentle stretches to support flexibility and flow
- Focused attention on areas of tension or imbalance
- Slow pacing to promote relaxation and awareness
Shiatsu sessions are typically performed fully clothed and focus on comfort, rhythm, and flow rather than deep pressure.
Common Reasons Clients Choose Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu massage is often chosen to support:
- Stress and emotional tension
- General muscle tightness
- Low energy or fatigue
- Desire for a holistic relaxation experience
Clients experiencing physical tension alongside stress may also benefit from complementary services such as relaxation massage or muscle tension relief massage.
