About Tina Rea
Hi! I’m Tina Rea, LMT, Shiatsu practitioner and owner of Shiatsu for Health in Portland, Oregon.
My practice is now part of Winding Willow Acupunture and Wellness, where many kinds of health insurance are accepted. An integrative clinic with a team of caring, talented practitioners and supportive staff located in SE Portland. I have worked at immune clinics as well as Terwilliger Plaza retirement facility. Clients that see me are looking for improved health and well-being, improved energy, alignment, circulation and energy. At the clinics my clients had cancer, MS, HIV/AIDS, or other autoimmune diseases. Working with these conditions taught me a great deal about illness, its effects on the body while learning how to better serve all my clients.
What is Shiatsu?
Shiatsu is a form of massage from Japan unlike other forms of massage. There are no oils or lotions used. Client wearing loose comfortable fitting clothes like yoga pants with a t-shirt. The treatments are traditionally done on a futon on the floor. If you have difficulty getting down or up from the floor a massage table can be used.
Shiatsu means finger pressure. It includes pressure applied from the thumbs, palms, elbows and possibly knees along the meridians or information pathways located in the fascia. Think Acupuncture without needles.
