When taking massage with us you get to change except for the head- shoulder massage into soft massage robes that we provide at DaiKai, and you receive a new pair of slippers.
You can take the slippers home with you as a souvenir afterwards. You may want to go to the toilet before the massage begins. We recommend that you avoid drinking alcohol in advance to get the best effect of the massage. After the massage you will be served a cup of green tea and you can help yourself to water and fruit in our Relax-room. Please note that we want the retreat area to be silent except for the low background music.
Therefore please turn off your mobile phone before going into our retreat, and inside please speak in a low voice to avoid disturbing others. This also applies in the Relax-room after the massage. If you have any particular questions or matters we must take into account illness, pregnancy, injury please inform the receptionist, preferably already when you book your massage.
If you have injuries or illnesses and are in doubt whether you should take a massage, please consult with your doctor before coming to us. We are not a treatment center for already existing injuries or illnesses, but focus on preventive health, relaxing, anti-stress and wellness massage. All our massages help to relieve tight muscles, balance the tensions between muscles and connective tissue, improve the main types of circulation in the body and provide signals to the brain about how the different parts of the body are doing.
The first challenge when it comes to finding which massage pressure that is right for you is to have a common language about it. Namikoshi Shiatsu in Japan has defined the following four levels of pressure. Just a little more than touch, suitable for children, the elderly and those who are particularly sensitive to touch.
