Originating in Japan, Shiatsu has become widespread among both eastern and western cultures. "Shiatsu technique refers to the use of fingers and the palm of one's hand to apply pressure to particular sections on the surface of the body for the purpose of correcting the imbalances of the body and for maintaining and promoting health. (“Shiatsu").
Shiatsu has earned professional attention and even medical licensing. In 2007, Andrew Long of the University of Leeds published a paper noting that when treated with Shiatsu, a "statistically significant improvement in symptoms was reported across a large number of participants with stress levels and muscular/joint problems showing the most improvement" (“Shiatsu”).
Here at Sanivan, we don't just offer our guests Shiatsu treatments, we offer them Ohashiatsu - a unique method of healing touch that combines hands-on touch techniques, limb rotation and stretches in a seamless flow of movement. This amazing massage offers the flexibility and endurance of yoga, the strength building and enhanced posture of Pilates, the revitalization of your own life force energy and spirit, while de-stressing your body, as well as your mind ("What is Ohashiatsu?").
Ivan and I believe the intuitive connection between giver and receiver is what makes Ohashiatsu so special. We feel that a sacred space is created when the giver and receiver are both present in the moment and able to feel the ki or life energy flow in the body. We follow the Ohashiatsu's core teaching that one must work from the "Hara" or center and source of inner strength and calm, allowing both parties to remain safe and balanced.
We would relish the opportunity to bring this high level of health, change and healing into your life. Call to schedule your Ohashiatsu massage today and take advantage of our June Father’s Day Special - purchase a treatment for dad and also receive 20% off a massage for yourself!
In Health and Happiness,
Saniye
