Newly opened Shiatsu & Massage Center offers a tranquil venue for weary patrons
Shoppers at Waikiki Beach Walk now have a new venue to relax and recharge between shopping sprees with the opening of the new Shiatsu & Massage Center, which recently relocated from its former location at the Waikiki Trade Center.
Shiatsu massage is known as a Japanese style of bodywork, and the word “Shiatsu” means “finger pressure.” It is related to the traditional Chinese medicine system where illness is thought to result from imbalances in any aspect of the body or mind. The practitioners use thumbs, palms, forearms and elbows to give deep tissue pressure on the specific spots on the body. Shiatsu practitioners say this style of massage helps with a variety of problems, including back pain, headache, depression and anxiety, sports injuries, insomnia, high blood pressure and more. Unique to the Shiatsu & Massage Center is the levitation bars that are used by licensed massage technicians to enhance the Shiatsu massage experience.
“Our massage has a very different 'feel' than a traditional Swedish massage with oil,” said Dennis Miller, spa owner. “It is much more direct, yet very relaxing,” he added. “We invite everyone to come and experience our Shiatsu massage and walk away feeling healthy and relaxed.”
In addition to its menu of spa treatments, Shiatsu & Massage Center has also started offering a weekly Yoga class at the Waikiki Beach Walk’s Plaza Stage and lawn every Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.
“We are very excited to be able to offer this type of service to our patrons,” said Conchita Malaqui, general manager of Waikiki Beach Walk. “Guests longing for a much needed massage or some pampering can stop by the Shiatsu & Massage Center where the friendly staff awaits them.”
