NY Shiatau: How Does Shiatsu Massage Feel?
One of the distinctive features of Shiatsu is its combination of pressure, stretching, and gentle movement. The pressure may feel firm in some areas, especially where muscles are tense. However, a good Shiatsu session should not be unnecessarily painful. Communication with your practitioner is important, particularly if you are sensitive to pressure. Many people describe the experience as deeply relaxing. After a session, you may feel lighter, calmer, and more aware of areas of tension in your body.
