WATSU……The gentlest deep massage ever created.
Watsu is a relatively new type of therapeutic massage, created and refined over the past two decades to combine two specific characteristics: complete gentleness and unsurpassed depth.
How can a massage that is literally pain-free offer even more therapeutic benefits than the forceful work so renowned for being “deep”? It is the medium and the method:
- Warm water, skilled touch, and a connection from the heart.
Imagine drifting afloat in a warm pool, muscles gentled, mind calmed, spirit open and free. Only the sounds of water, present time, relaxing, supportive ease allowing your body to relax deeper, deeper and deeper.
The water is heated to skin temperature; gravity and weight become irrelevant. The Watsu therapist can manipulate, stretch and massage your tissues with precision and subtlety.
Supported in this warmth and safety, your muscles and fascia are free to give up their long held patterns of guarding, tension, holding, and pain. Your mind is free to quiet itself in the feelings of nurturance and peace.
Watsu’s physical and stress reducing effects are deep, lasting and profound.
