Shiatsu Massage Therapy at Awender Chiropractic
Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese massage technique based on Chinese medicine. Using finger pressure—and sometimes elbows, knees, and feet—your therapist targets energy pathways (meridians) to relieve blockages that can lead to pain, tension, or illness.
This therapy helps loosen tight muscles and fascia, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and support immune and nervous system function. It may also ease stress, constipation, insomnia, and more.
What to Expect
Shiatsu is performed fully clothed on a floor mat. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Your therapist will apply pressure along energy lines, adjusting intensity to suit your needs.
How Shiatsu Differs
- Performed fully clothed, no oils used
- Focuses on joints and connective tissue
- Typically done on a mat, not a table
- Leaves you feeling refreshed and energized
