Shiatsu is a Japanese body massage technique using finger pressure on specific points. It balances energy flow and releases neck, shoulder, back, and hip tension through targeted pressure rather than broad strokes.
District 7 has a significant Japanese and Korean expat population familiar with Asian bodywork traditions. Shiatsu's Japanese origins make it a natural fit for this international community.

Why District 7's office workers and parents specifically book shiatsu — and what makes it different from Thai or aroma.
Shiatsu is District 7's quiet workhorse — booked far less often than Thai but with a much higher repeat-booking rate. The reason: shiatsu solves a specific problem that other services don't address as well. If your day involves long laptop hours, frequent phone use, or carrying a child on one hip, the tension accumulates in predictable spots — base of the neck, top of the shoulders, between the shoulder blades, and along the lower back. Shiatsu's sustained finger and palm pressure on these meridian points releases that tension more precisely than oil-based Swedish strokes or the broader compressions of Thai work.
Shiatsu is performed fully clothed — wear loose, comfortable clothing — and uses no oil, which makes it the cleanest option for hotel rooms in District 7 where you're heading out afterward. Sessions typically run 60 or 90 minutes; for a first shiatsu booking we recommend 60 minutes to test how your body responds, then switch to 90 if you want deeper work the next time. Pressure is firm but controlled — your therapist will check in early to calibrate intensity, and you can adjust at any point.
When to pick shiatsu over alternatives in District 7: choose shiatsu when one or two specific areas (neck, shoulders, lower back, hips) need targeted pressure; choose Thai when you want full-body stretching and active range-of-motion work; choose aroma when relaxation and sleep are the primary goal; choose hot stone when stiffness responds best to sustained warmth.
“The shiatsu pressure point work sorted out three weeks of accumulated neck and shoulder tension from back-to-back flights and desk work. The therapist knew exactly where to hold and release. My chronic upper-back issue felt better after one session than it had in a month.”
