Questions
Shiatsu / Acupressure: common questions
What is the difference between shiatsu and acupressure?
Both press on specific points instead of using long strokes. Shiatsu is the Japanese style, worked in a rhythm across the whole body; acupressure focuses on particular points. Our session combines the two.
How is it different from deep tissue?
Deep tissue uses oil and slow strokes into the muscle. Shiatsu and acupressure use held, rhythmic pressure on points along the body, which many people find both relaxing and grounding.
Which length should I book?
60 minutes covers the whole body. Choose 90 minutes if you want extra time on the neck, shoulders or back.
How do I book, and can I cancel?
Book online, which shows the open times for the day you choose, or call (650) 272-6881. Payment is taken when you book, and you can cancel or reschedule at least 2 hours ahead for a full refund.
Where is W Spa, and where do I park?
