Watsu is a type of massage very delicate.

This is done in warm, deep water up to the arm. The name "watsu" is a combination of the words "water" and "shiatsu". This massage was created by Harold Dull in 1980 when he began applying Jen Shiatsu stretches with students in the warm water of the Harbin Hot Springs pool in California.

What happens during a treatment?

A spa practicing such a treatment must have a special Watsu pool, with water heated to human body temperature. Some spas have outdoor Watsu pools surrounded by walls and covered in glass.

During the Watsu treatment, the therapist cradles the body in the water, with one hand supporting the client's knees and the other supporting the back. One of the client's hands is wrapped around the therapist for extra support, and the other floats freely. The therapist rotates the client's body back and forth in the water, putting it through a series of stretches and rotations.

The Watsu technique has the following benefits:

• Light stretches have a therapeutic effect on the body.
• Water support allows the spine to move in ways that are not possible on land.
• Many people find that it also works on an emotional level, strengthening self-confidence and communication.
