Watsu® is a form of therapy in the water. The principles of stretching, strengthening, and massage is used with the natural buoyancy, resistance, and warmth of the water.
The hydrostatic pressure of the water helps to increase circulation and decrease blood pressure as the body is continually moved. The sympathetic nervous system is overridden in the warm water. Most of society lives in a heightened sympathetic state (flight or fight) from overdoing, stress and multi-tasking.
Watsu® provides an ideal method to help relax, expand the mind-body connection and create meditative states which allow decreasing stiffness and tension, muscle guarding, muscle spasm, pain, and allows for more efficient tissue repair.
