Japanese pressure-point therapy performed through clothing, using thumbs, palms and elbows along the body’s energy lines.
About This Treatment
Shiatsu works by applying steady, perpendicular pressure with thumbs, palms and elbows to points along the body’s meridians, holding each one before moving on. There is no oil and no gliding — you stay clothed and the therapist works through the fabric.
Rhythmic and grounding. Because the pressure is held rather than swept, many people find shiatsu quietens the mind faster than an oil massage. It combines well with gentle stretching of the shoulders, hips and neck.
Transparent Pricing
All prices in US dollars and Costa Rican colones. No hidden fees, no travel surcharge inside the GAM.
What You Get
Questions
Loose, comfortable clothing — soft trousers or leggings and a t-shirt. Avoid jeans and belts.
They are cousins, not twins. Both are done clothed without oil, but Thai emphasises assisted stretching while shiatsu emphasises held pressure on specific points.
