What our clients say
Description
The Shiatsu massage is a Japanese therapy for balancing energy, in which the rhythmic pressure of the fingers replaces oils and classic strokes. It is an experience that is both relaxing and invigorating, releasing your tension and setting your energy back in motion. Shiatsu is also known as acupressure, rhythmic pressure on the body's meridians, without oil.
What is a Shiatsu massage
Originating in Japan, “shiatsu” literally means “finger pressure”. The therapist applies firm, rhythmic pressure with the thumbs, palms and sometimes elbows, along the body’s energy meridians, combined with gentle stretches and joint mobilisations. It is performed clothed, in comfortable attire, on a firm mat and without oil. The aim is to release blockages and restore a balanced flow of energy (Ki).

How your session unfolds at Bali Temple
Because shiatsu is performed clothed and involves stretching, we recommend coming in loose, comfortable clothing that lets you move freely. You lie back, relaxed, on a mat, in a warm atmosphere with soft light and soothing music. The therapist applies rhythmic pressure along the meridians, alternating with gentle stretches and joint mobilisations, up to a final state of calm energy.
60 or 90 minutes: which to choose
The 60-minute session is perfect for a quick rebalancing and easing tense areas. The 90-minute one leaves room for a complete, unhurried treatment across all the meridians. You can book either above or give them as a gift voucher.
Who it is recommended for
For those who are tense or low on energy, for stressed people seeking rebalancing, and for anyone who wants to discover a form of massage different from the oil-based ones.
