Stress relieving Watsu Water Massage

11th April 2012 Print
Blythswood Square

For the 20th consecutive year April has been designated Stress Awareness Month and stress levels are at an all time high - with this in mind 5* Blythswood Square, recently awarded AA Scottish Hotel of the Year has introduced a Watsu Water Massage treatment, with the power to reduce stress in minutes.

Watsu means “water –shiatsu” and the treatment is a unique ‘one to one’ experience combining Shiatsu pressure points with gentle stretches and the absence of gravity. Using water as a medium relaxes, supports and nurtures body and mind. The mobility and freedom of movement in a Watsu Water Massage treatment can create a trance like state of deep state relaxation which can help unlock stored stress and tension

Many people say that a Watsu Water Massage is the most relaxing experience they have ever had! Imagine a calm, warm environment where deep physical and mental relaxation is achieved within minutes.

A Watsu Water Massage can also be beneficial in treating a variety of conditions. It can relieve aches and pains, reduce fatigue, relax muscle tension, ease stress, boost energy levels, improve circulation, improve body tone, promote deep breathing, harmonise sleep patterns and also improve the range of joint movements.
