After my stroke, I wish I would have found Tressa Water Therapy sooner. With her unique water therapy and Watsu sessions. Tressa has helped me walk, regain my strength, and my balance. She helped me more than any other therapist that I have gone to before her. She spent such an amazing amount of individual attention on me and I can't thank her enough.
Her knowledge of the body, fundamentals of movement, and perception of sensory massage have triggered muscles I didn't know I could feel again.
I love chatting with her, she has an awesome sense of humor and we got along like two peas in a pod.

What Watsu has done for me.
By Luke P Wagner MD
I wish to describe what I have experienced through my sessions with Tressa. As a victim of the disease of Multiple Sclerosis, I know the feelings of instability and memory loss. Through a weekly therapy session, I have noted increased stability in my lower extremities. The movement of my body in the warm water of the pool relaxes me, relieves stress and gives me clearer mental capacity.
The Watsu & Water Therapy technique of Tressa is of great benefit to me. It is a unique type of therapy which allows even a large immobile person as myself a full range of body motion and stretching that would otherwise be impossible. The relaxing is not only of specific muscle groups but total relaxation of my body which last the week.
I am very hopeful that this therapy will benefit other as it has me.

Watsu is a form of water therapy, which is also called hydrotherapy. It involves stretches, massages, and acupressure in warm water.
The term “watsu” comes from the words “water” and “shiatsu.” Shiatsu is a type of traditional Japanese massage that uses acupressure to promote relaxation. In Japanese, shiatsu means “finger pressure.”
Watsu was created by Harold Dull, a massage therapist, in 1980. Dull observed that it was easier for his clients’ muscles and tissues to relax in water. In turn, he found that shiatsu techniques were more effective when done in water.
Generally, Watsu therapy is used to alleviate pain and discomfort caused by a range of ailments. The idea is that the resistance of water soothes physical tension and encourages relaxation, which supports overall health.
How does it work?
Watsu therapy is done in a pool. The water is heated to 95°F (35°C), which is close to the same temperature as your skin.
During Watsu, a therapist gently moves your body in water. This is known as passive hydrotherapy, because you don’t need to actively perform the movements.
Your therapist is in the water with you. They move your body in specific motions, which may include:
- gentle twisting
- rocking or cradling
- stretching
- massaging pressure points
The goal is to release tightness in your muscle and fascia tissue. It’s also meant to promote a healthy flow of energy, or qi.
Watsu is typically done in a peaceful setting to increase relaxation. Many Watsu therapists play soothing music during the session.
What is it used for?
As a therapeutic treatment, Watsu is used to alleviate pain and tension. People also use it to enhance physical movement and joint mobility.
It may provide relief for people with:
- muscle tension
- low back pain
- chronic pain
- fibromyalgia
- discomfort during pregnancy
- post-traumatic stress disorder
- anxiety
- depression
- sleep disorders
- stress-related conditions
- neurological conditions (like multiple sclerosis)
- spinal cord injury
- injury rehabilitation
