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

warm water
skilled touch
complete gentleness
unsurpassed depth
connection from the heart

Imagine drifting afloat in a wam pool with your muscles relaxed, mind calmed and your spirit open and free. You are joined with the sounds of water, and supported with ease allowing your body to relax deeply. The water is heated to skin temperature; gravity and weight become irrelevant. The therapist can gently move, stretch and massage your tissues with precision, sublety and effortlessness.
Supported in this warmth and safety, your body is free to give up long held patterns of guarding and holding, tension, and pain. Your mind is free to quieten itself in the feelings of nurturance and peace.

Effects can be deep, lasting and profound

Bouyancy and warmth relax the muscles, unlock the joints and release the body from gravity.
Warm water and the continous support it provides is ideal for freeing the spine. It takes the weight off vertebrae and relaxes the muscles.The relaxation of tensions in the spine and musculature removes excess pressure on the nerves, improves the tone and functioning of the whole body and the organs those nerves service. It allows the spine to be moved in ways impossible on land.

Reduced requirements of oxygen found in states of
weighlessness help calm respiration.
Unrestricted by contraction, the circulation can carry away
metabolic wastes from the muscles, thereby reducing pain,
fatigue and improving sleep.

Release of emotional stress can result in increased
energy, creativity and clarity.
