watsu

Watsu is a recent therapy devised by Harold Dull after studying Zen Shiatsu in Japan. Harold Dull adapted his learning’s and began Watsu by floating people in water and applying stretches to their body, a type of water shiatsu.

Watsu is a holistic therapy leading to healing on many levels for both the giver as well as the receiver.

Watsu treatments, which last for about one hour, involve the client being floated, stretched, cradled and massaged in warm water. The therapist uses the rhythm of the clients breathing and their natural buoyancy to perform their routine.

Some of the main benefits of Watsu include:

• Decreased muscle tension.

• 2. Increased range of movement in the body.

• 3. A reduction in chronic pain.

• 4. Improved breathing patterns.

• 5. Improved posture.
