Watsu is Assisted Movement Within a Body of Water | |
| Watsu is a passive form of aquatic bodywork and water therapy that supports and gently moves a person through water in graceful, fluid movements. Watsu promotes a deep state of relaxation with dramatic changes in the autonomic nervous system. Through quieting the sympathetic and enhancing the parasympathetic nervous systems, Watsu has profound effects on the neuromuscular system. | ||
| Watsu helps decrease muscle tension and increase range of motion. A combination of human assistance and the support of the water provides relief from compression forces in the joints. The assisted movements through the water provide gentle stretching into all ranges for the spine and extremities while these joints are unloaded. These are movements and exercises that are not achieveable by one person, but only through the assistance of another. | ||
| Warm Water Watsu Offers Greater Benefits | |||
| Assisted Watsu sessions take place in chest-high warm water and involve both massage and a series of flowing dance-like motions. While beginning Watsu-givers usually rely on learned techniques of movement, more advanced practitioners often use the "free flow" method which is a spontaneous approach allowing the giver to become increasingly open and free to use whatever movements emerge in response to a client's reactions and needs. |  |
||
| The therapeutic benefits of warm water, combined with the elements from such disciplines as Zen Shiatsu, yoga, dance and meditation, make Watsu an effective treatment in a wide variety of conditions. Watsu is considered a form of massage, so it can covered by most insurance policies, especially for injury recovery, and pain management. The receiver is continuously supported while being floated witih warm water - cradled, rocked and stretched. | |||
