Warm Pool Massage .... Watsu


What is watsu ?


Watsu is a gentle, nurturing therapy practiced in warm, body-temperature water. Watsu combines movement, stretches and moments of stillness.


In 1981 Harold Dull took the stretches of Zen Shiatsu into the natural warm pools of northern California. He named this new modality Watsu, for Water Shiatsu.


Appreciation of Watsu is now worldwide. It is practiced in clinics, hospitals and spas in North America, Japan, Australia, and across Europe.


Psychologists, psychiatrists, physical therapists, massage therapists, and lay people are enthusiastic about the benefits of Watsu.


Watsu is for everyone – the very young, adolescents, the elderly, pregnant, athletes and those suffering from simple stress. Watsu is effective in a wide variety of neurologic and orthopedic problems.


Watsu’s gentle rocking movements, stretches and nurturing support of the practitioner bring receivers to the peace and simplicity of their earliest childhood and womb states, allowing physical and emotional blockages to be gently released.



Above all, Watsu is deeply relaxing, guided by a philosophy of gentleness, complete acceptance, and unconditional love.
