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.

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.
