Watsu is a form of shiatsu given in a serene, shallow pool of warm water. Hawaii's Big Island offers aquatic Watsu treatments within a heavenly lava cave. Since water offers the body a whole different level of freedom and a much wider range of motion, the Watsu practitioner can easily manipulate the limbs and spine with greater fluidity. The therapist gently guides your body through a series of stretching movements and rhythmic sequences. Water is the magic ingredient that enourages the body to accept a more peaceful path resulting in a major reduction of tension, pain, stress, blood pressure and sleeplessness, while boosting energy and greatly promoting healing.
