Watsu Massage Session

What Is A Watsu Session Like?

In a Watsu session the practitioner moves your body with the rhythm of your breath in a flowing series of tension-relieving yogic stretches and holds. With the spine and body supported, the recipient’s body moves freely into deeply relaxing positions which are simply not possible on land. Stretches become effortlessly deeper and a profound sense of well-being arises.

The antigravity properties of the water are central to the healing effects of a Watsu session. Gentle, rocking movements, and gradual twists and pulls relieve the pressure on vertebrae and help with problems this pressure causes on the nerves and the organs connected to them. This relief of pressure on the spinal nerves can allow a healing energy movement to occur, causing the gentle release of chronically held emotional and physical tensions.

Pregnant women benefit greatly from Watsu; as do athletes, those suffering from sore muscles and joints, and conditions such as fibromyalgia (chronic pain in muscles and soft tissues surrounding joints) and multiple sclerosis.
