A full treatment lasts sixty minutes and is done with the client fully-clothed, lying on a massage table or, more traditionally, on a comfortable mat.
Shorter treatments of twenty or thirty minutes are also quite effective, particularly if done on a regular basis. Short treatments can be done using a massage chair and are ideal for a corporate environment.
Shiatsu can be performed on anyone, regardless of age or state of health. The depth and strength of pressure is adjusted to suit the health needs and comfort level of each individual client. Pressure can range from extremely gentle for those who are quite sensitive or in a delicate state of health to very deep for those in robust health and with a strong tolerance.
