Healing from Illness or Injury

Recovering from physical & emotional challenges? Shiatsu work can release tight restrictive painful movement in your body internally and structurally. This includes currant and long standing illnesses and injuries. Helping to reduce the stress we feel and the effects of the stress. Enhancing your health and well-being throughout the body.

Recreational Weekend Warriors

Are you actively participating in life; hiking, biking, running, skiing, kayaking, gardening, remodeling your house? We spend our work days sitting at desks or walking/standing on cement all day, then want to be out and about active. This can contribute to stiff, sore, strained bodies.

Testimonials

Release Tension, Relieve Pain

I first saw Tina to release tension, relieve pain, for relaxation and stretching. After a Shiatsu session I feel re-energized and re-balanced. The stretches have helped with my chronic pain. Going too long between sessions makes me feel incomplete and unbalanced. I appreciate Tina’s flexibility with appointment times when my schedule changes. Keep doing what you’re doing. Just wish the sessions weren’t so short!

I Love Shiatsu

Tina cares deeply about the health success of her clients. She creates a total integrated health plan that is personalized to me. I came in to see her for unresolved pain from muscle injuries that were not healing. I love Shiatsu. It’s very relaxing yet invigorating way to bring my body back into balance.

De-stress and Energize

I met Tina through a friend and discovered that shiatsu could de-stress and energize me at the same time. When I badly injured my ankle, Tina’s work helped decrease pain and swelling, so I could keep improving. After a session, I am relaxed, invigorated, and renewed. Wish I could extend these sessions for hours! Go Tina!

About Shiatsu for Health

About Tina Rea

Hi! I’m Tina Rea, LMT, Shiatsu practitioner and owner of Shiatsu for Health in Portland, Oregon.

My practice is divided between my private practice in downtown Portland, and working at IEP – , an autoimmune clinic. Clients at my private practice are looking for improved heath and well-being, improved energy, alignment, circulation and energy. At the clinic my clients have cancer, MS, HIV/AIDS, or other autoimmune diseases. Working at IEP has 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 facia. Think Acupuncture without needles.
