Shiatsu Sam

No words for my Shiatsu experience at Great Jones Spa but if I had to choose one, transcendence.

Based on the traditional Japanese technique designed to balance your "ki", or vital energy, Shiatsu harmonizes breathing, energy meridians, and vital points on the body to develop vital force and aid the body in healing itself . Shiatsu therapy combines traditional massage techniques with stretching and weight counterbalancing to encourage greater harmony of energy, circulation, flexibility, and postural integrity. Using elbows, knees, feet, fingers and thumbs, the therapist concentrates on your body's acupuncture points.
