What is Watsu?

In the early 1980s Harold Dull began to take the stretches of Zen Shiatsu into the warm water of the pools at Harbin Hot Springs in northern California. He came to call this Watsu (Water Shiatsu in English). Psychologists, psychiatrists, physical therapists, massage therapists, and lay people are all enthusiastic about the benefits of giving and receiving Watsu.

It is for everyone the very young, adolescents, the elderly, the pregnant, athletes and those suffering from simple stress. Watsu is effective in a wide variety of neurological and orthopaedic problems. Its gentle rocking movements, stretches and nurturing support in the arms of the practitioner convey 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.
