If you're looking for a unique therapy for your body and mind, consider Watsu. Watsu is a treatment that is applied while you're submerged in hot water. A therapist essentially cradles you so you have the feeling of floating, and then helps you relax and stretch out, and performs massage techniques. Delivering a number of therapeutic benefits, enhanced even more by the soothing warmth of the water, Watsu is effective for stress relief, relaxation, healthy blood flow, and even exercise improvement. Here's a closer look at some of the body and mind benefits that Watsu can provide:

Relax Away the Worries of Your Mind

Watsu can help your mind and body achieve a state of rest and recovery that is similar to what you feel after a great night's sleep. By closing your eyes and focusing on floating and the weightless feeling that comes with it, you can feel light and free.

Decompress and Rejuvenate Your Body

Watsu can help reduce stress, relaxing the body and the mind. When we stress, it tends to manifest itself physically into muscle tightness and aching joints. Loosening up that stress via a Watsu session can help bring some muscle relief as well as help your stress disappear.

Watsu is also effective at stimulating blood flow thanks to the varying pressures along with the stimulating effects of the hot water. Better circulation helps your body perform more efficiently.

Increase Your Flexibility and Mobility

Watsu also helps facilitate exercise for those who may have limited mobility or chronic pain from injuries or aging. Using a series of stretches and light movements during a session in the water can be great training for anyone, but especially those who find physical activity outside of the water too challenging. With regular Watsu treatments, you could eventually improve your range of motion and see a decrease in pain.
