So shiatsu is done fully clothed and this is for the reason that we're not working with
oil so we don't really need skin access. It's a great form for people who don't feel comfortable
getting undressed when they go for body work. So when you come for a shiatsu session we'll
literally work on top of the clothes. Depending on the season you might also have a blanket
over you on top of whatever you're wearing so it's really about accessing the energy
pathways through pressure and that can happen very easily through the clothes.
So the recipient can wear anything that's really comfortable from loose sweat pants
or yoga pants and some practitioners like you to be fully clothed in long sleeves or
a T-shirt and it's important not to wear anything that's too constricting or tight around the
waist. It's nice to wear socks as well and depending on the season the type of clothing
that's loose and comfortable might change. Great to talk to the practitioner about that
to get specifics for how they like to work. But in general just loose, comfy clothing
that covers your skin.
