Same Day Shiatsu Massage

Shiatsu is one of the most effective manual therapies for tension headaches specifically. Several pressure points — particularly Gallbladder 20 at the base of the skull, Large Intestine 4 between thumb and index finger, and Liver 3 on the foot — can relieve the underlying muscular and meridian tension that causes most tension-type headaches. Many clients experience noticeable relief within a 60-minute session.

Yes — and we encourage this. When you send your booking message, include a brief description of your main complaint (lower back tension, neck stiffness, headache, anxiety) and we'll assign a therapist experienced with that area. Shiatsu practitioners specialise in different meridian systems, so matching your complaint to an appropriate therapist improves your outcomes significantly.

Keep it simple: your hotel, preferred time, and one or two sentences about your primary issue. For example: "Hotel Nikko, 5 PM, tight shoulders and headache from laptop work." This helps us assign the right therapist and ensures they arrive focused on what you need most, rather than beginning with a general consultation from scratch.

Most same-day requests are confirmed via WhatsApp within 30 minutes during active hours. Therapist arrival typically follows within 2–3 hours in central districts (Districts 1, 3, 4) and 3–4 hours in outer areas. For same-day evening sessions, messaging before 5 PM significantly improves availability.

No. Shiatsu is performed fully clothed without oil — no undressing, no linens, and no table required (though a table is available if preferred). The therapist brings their own mat for floor work if you prefer that position. Setup takes under 5 minutes, making shiatsu one of the most practical options for time-sensitive bookings.
