Overview
The Shiatsu Clinic specializes in Focused Touch Shiatsu ; In conjunction with their Shiatsu appointments clients may also receive treatments including Active Isolated Stretching, Swedish Massage, and Deep Muscle Massage.  In addition, the clinic's injury recovery, strengthening, stretching, and hydrotherapy suite features free and universal weights, a whirlpool, sauna, and inversion table.  Appointments are available seven days a week.

The Role of Students
Students at The Shiatsu Clinic & School assist instructors as part of their training.  In student-assisted treatments, the student works with and under the direction of the instructor.  The client basically gets two therapists for the price of one.  Most clients consider it a tremendous benefit to have a student work with them in addition to the instructor/therapist.  Of course, clients may decide at any time and for any reason that they would prefer to work with the therapist alone.  In addition, it should be noted that not all clinical appointments occur at times when a student is available to assist.

Wondering What to Wear?
Clients may receive Shiatsu in the clothing they wear to the clinic, or through full coverage sheets which are available in the clinic.
