Quick Answer

What Is Japanese Shiatsu Seitai?

Shiatsu is Japanese hands-on bodywork that uses pressure with the hands, fingers and thumbs. Seitai is a broader Japanese term often used for manual bodywork focused on movement, balance, posture and muscular tension.

At GREFUL, sessions may combine pressure, stretching, muscle techniques and movement checks depending on your condition. The session is adapted to you rather than following one fixed routine.

Shiatsu

Hands-On Pressure & Muscle Care

Shiatsu-style techniques are used to work with areas that feel tight, tired or heavy. Pressure can be adjusted during the session.

Common areas include:
  • Neck and shoulders
  • Upper and lower back
  • Hips
  • Legs and feet
  • Areas tired from travel and walking

Seitai

Movement, Posture & Whole-Body Balance

Seitai may include stretching, joint movement, posture checks and other manual techniques. The goal is to look beyond one sore spot and consider how the body is moving as a whole.

We may look at:
  • Posture
  • Shoulder-blade movement
  • Hip movement
  • Neck and upper-back mobility
  • General body balance

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Shiatsu Seitai

Is Shiatsu the same as massage?
Shiatsu is a Japanese hands-on bodywork approach that often uses sustained pressure with the hands, fingers and thumbs. A GREFUL session may also include Seitai-style stretching, movement and posture work.
Do I stay fully clothed?
Yes. Standard Shiatsu Seitai is generally performed while you remain clothed. Comfortable clothing is recommended.
Can you adjust the pressure?
Yes. Please tell us if you prefer gentle, medium or stronger pressure.
Which course should I choose?
Choose 25 or 50 minutes for more focused care. A 75-minute session gives more time for multiple areas, while 100 minutes allows for more comprehensive full-body care.
Do I need to speak Japanese?
No. Our staff primarily speak Japanese, but simple English, gestures and translation apps can be used when needed.
