Shiatsu Pressure Preference: Finding Your Comfortable Intensity

Shiatsu Pressure Preference: Finding Your Comfortable Intensity

Pressure Is a Conversation

Effective bodywork depends on feedback. During a Wally Shiatsu home visit, pressure should feel productive and comfortable — never sharp. Gentle Shiatsu is the path when you want a softer entry; more focused pressure remains available when preferred.

How to Communicate Preferences

Use simple language: lighter, slower, more on the shoulders, less on the lower back. Families booking senior massage can pass along known preferences in advance.

Part of a Larger Session

Pressure preference works with positioning, optional assisted stretching, and the overall Shiatsu approach. You book one home session and personalize the mix.

Try It at Home

Schedule your session and note your preferred intensity.
