Restore Balance for Body, Mind, and Spirit
Restore Balance for Body, Mind, and Spirit
Shiatsu massage is a traditional Japanese form of bodywork that focuses on restoring balance to the natural flow of energy in the body. The word “shiatsu” literally means finger pressure, and this technique uses the thumbs, palms, and fingers to apply gentle, sustained pressure to specific points. Unlike Western massage styles, shiatsu does not use oil or lotion, and clients remain fully clothed during the session.
At Heather’s Balancing Touch in Black River Falls, Wisconsin, shiatsu massage is practiced as a holistic therapy that blends ancient wisdom with modern understanding of anatomy and physiology. Each session is customized to your comfort level, with pressure ranging from light touch to deeper, more focused application.
