Watsu Therapy
This massage takes place in warm, waist-deep water. Its name comes from a combination of the words "water" and "shiatsu." The spa has a special Watsu pool heated to the exact same temperature as per one's body. During Watsu, the trainer takes your body through a series of stretches and twists. Being held in the warm water is deeply relaxing. Watsu's gentle stretches have a therapeutic effect on the body. The buoyancy and support of the water allows the spinal column to be moved in ways that aren't possible on land. Many people also find it promotes trust.
