Client Testimonials – Shiatsu Brno
❝Client's reaction suffering from back pain since childbirth: Hi Petr, I want to thank you for your abilities :) The pain in my tailbone is gone. Just once after the massage, I felt a slight pain while sitting on the train, but I managed to get up without any problem. And since then, nothing. I'm at peace. Thank you so much!❞
❝I have known Mr. Závodný since 2013, thanks to my wife who bought me a gift voucher for shiatsu. I must say that it was the best thing that could happen to me and my chronic back pain. After 2 years of regular shiatsu visits, which always put my back back together, there was another shift that I evaluate as a transition from a passive role to an active one, and that was yoga practice. Since I have experienced yoga practice in a group of people, I can only recommend practicing with Mr. Závodný, which (including shiatsu) is based on a completely different principle, and that is a personal approach to the client... his active interest in your person, advice, recommendations, and professional approach will move your health and skills further. On Mr. Závodný's website, I found that he uses the nickname Petr Klíč (Petr Key), and it immediately reminds me of the key to health, so I recommend the combination of yoga and shiatsu to everyone who wants to be healthy and full of energy.❞
❝From a letter after kidney meridian treatment: "I would like to give you feedback on yesterday's massage. I didn't feel much yesterday - just a very pleasant relaxation after the massage, but today... today is the day D... I mean that it really helped me... and restarted an inner joy that I had lost... this morning I practiced - wonderful, and I feel alive again... I didn't feel that yesterday, so thank you very much."

❝I am Petr Zavodny's client since more then a year and get shiatsu treatment all two weeks. I have a chronic neurological disease and also from time to time some little problems like back-pain, problems with digestion or a flue. This little problems vanish very quick, and with my chronic disease i feel well supported by shiatsu. I can not say what exactly is helping me, but I feel somehow "addicted" to get regular treatments :-) They relax me, and I feel I get something good for my body. Petr takes his work very seriously. Even I have sometimes pain during treatment or come into strong processes I feel safe and treated with much care. I think he has a good feeling for what is important at the moment for the client. He also provides a cozy and safe place in his salon or wherever he does the treatment. I am happy I have the opportunity to get regular shiatsu by Petr, he is great masseur. Katharina❞
❝I waited cautiously, but now I must tell you that I feel so relieved that I can enjoy everything again... Thank you :)❞
❝I have been going to Petr regularly for several months now. He is 100% professional, respects boundaries, and adapts to the client's current needs. He helps me work with long-standing physical problems, blocks, and generally improve my relationship and connection with my physical body, which is an invaluable service. I wholeheartedly recommend his massages, which are also very reasonably priced in today's times.❞
❝I go to Petr for a massage regularly and it is always a pleasant experience. He is sensitive to my needs and can create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. During the first visit, he explained where Shiatsu comes from and how it works. At each visit, he asks me how I am doing, how the previous massage affected me, and I see a genuine interest in the client and their problems. I feel that he tries to understand the person and not treat clients like on an assembly line, but really takes the time and space needed for each individual. I always leave him in a better mood, happy, feeling the energy flowing through my body, and feeling great :)❞
❝This was my first shiatsu massage. I thought I knew exactly what my body needed, but after a few questions, Peter’s intuition, and being present with how I felt in my body, we ended up choosing a completely different path for the session—the heart meridian. And it turned out that’s exactly what I needed at that moment. Peter created a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere and explained everything about shiatsu in detail, including how the session would unfold. This helped me let go of expectations and tension and simply enter the process with curiosity. The treatment felt powerful and deep for me. His touch was gentle but precise. Just a brief moment and a few deep breaths were enough for me to feel the intensity of the treatment. Part of the session I spent in tears; I don’t know what needed to be released, but with the sense of acceptance, support, safety, and trust coming from Peter, I allowed myself whatever my body needed at that moment—tears, movement, voice. I felt a surge of different emotions, but no thoughts—just pure presence in my body. Afterward, I literally felt my heart opening—lightness, love, emotion, vulnerability, and strength. I then had time and space to settle and integrate what I’d experienced. At the end, there was a sharing about what happened, what Peter felt from my body, and the qualities of emotion present. This part was very valuable for me—it clarified and completed the process I had gone through, so I could better understand what my body was saying and feeling. It’s amazing how Peter knows exactly what the client needs, how intuitive he is, and how he creates a safe space for things to unfold—he is certain about what, how, and why he’s doing things. I was surprised how such a gentle touch could evoke such a deep and healing response in my body. A few days after the session, I still feel my strength, and it’s beautiful. If you’re looking for someone who won’t treat you just as another number in line, I definitely recommend Peter. You can genuinely feel that he cares about the clients, the quality of the treatment, and about how the client feels.❞
❝Even though your treatment was shorter, I perceive it very positively. I like that you apply almost no pressure, doing it gently, yet with a great effect on the body.💫 For me, it is a very pleasant treatment. I feel that my shoulders have gently relaxed. Thank you very much 🙏🙌❞
❝I first tried shiatsu with Petr at the beginning of August 2016, and since then I go approximately every three weeks. Every time is different. Sometimes I feel calm, joy, relaxation, fewer racing thoughts after the massage, sometimes on the contrary, unpleasant emotions (which usually dissipate the next day and turn into a state where I feel better than before the massage). With shiatsu, I was also able to feel the flow of energy in my body for the first time. With Petr, I feel safe and greatly appreciate his complete presence, attention, kindness, flexibility regarding appointments, inspiring conversations, a nice environment for massages, and that he has no problem when I have an attack of laughter or tears or just anything (and therefore I know I can allow myself that). Thank you for everything :-).❞
❝From a letter with the client's permission: Dear Mr. Petr, today I had a follow-up examination after half a year. Among other things, it focused on my spine, and I must inform you that there are significant improvements compared to the previous examination. I attribute this to your massages, as I really feel a great relief. Thank you and I look forward to the next massage.❞
❝I first came to Petr in the fall of 2011, when a mutual friend recommended shiatsu massages to me. Since then, I have undergone many massages and always left relaxed, with a cleared mind and a light step that almost lifted me :) It is difficult to briefly describe the effects of regular massage on both body and spirit. Petr has an individual approach to each client, is empathetic, unbiased, and can offer a different perspective on problems, which has helped me several times. I definitely recommend it not only to those who have already tried "everything" and nothing helps ;)❞
❝I am very glad that after giving birth I chose shiatsu, more precisely shiatsu by Petr. Petr is a very nice, empathetic and skilled person and it is obvious that he really enjoys his work. I knew almost nothing about shiatsu before and I was really surprised how comprehensively this massage can address a person, literally harmonizing body and soul, which is exactly what I needed after a not-so-problem-free birth. Over the year, I underwent a fairly intensive series of massages. Immediately after them, I always felt incredibly refreshed, both physically and mentally, and in the long term, I perceive a significant improvement in my original problems. Moreover, it is great that Petr always accommodates me with the schedule, as it is sometimes not easy with a baby. And when necessary, I can take him with me; Petr adjusts the room to make it safe for him. It is also great that there is a half-price for mothers on maternity leave. So I highly recommend it.❞
❝Hi Petr, greetings from a relaxing-working stay in Canada. I was at your place several times for shiatsu massage and I must thank you once again for the relief from pain that you "arranged" for me. And thanks to the pleasant conversations, I hope I also improved my view of the world :)❞
❝Petr is a person who constantly develops his qualities and his energy field is very strong, which I felt already during the first massage. It was very energizing, yet I felt relaxed and rejuvenated. With subsequent massages, the long-lasting effect on the immune system, stress relief, and detoxification increased. Moreover, he always accommodated my requests, such as focusing one massage on kidney cleansing or neck unblocking. I have a very pleasant feeling from his work and I can happily recommend him to everyone.❞
❝My first massage with Peter. Everything was explained at the beginning. The focus was on the development and grounding of masculine energy/strength. The massage was excellent; I experienced almost 'supernatural' states that are hard to describe. Afterwards there was release and tears—tears accompanied by a feeling of happiness that something positive had happened. I feel stronger, more able to support my wife when needed, or to communicate openly with calm and love, as a man to a woman. I see there is still work to do and I believe this was not my last massage. Thank you.❞
❝The second shiatsu massage. It was completely different from the first one. The first was very strong, deep, intense, and releasing. This time it was in gentleness, but with strength and maximum respect. Wherever Peter's touch was, my attention automatically followed, and my breath also directed there, which greatly aided the process. And a beautiful connection with the body occurred. In trust in its healing. Without any doubts. Just this connection with myself during the treatment was very healing and beautiful. At first glance, almost nothing seemed to be happening, but in reality, it was happening at great depths. During the treatment, I felt peace, balance, trust, acceptance, and vitality. I greatly appreciate Peter's interest in the person and his broader perspective on the situation; thank you for his insights. They were very enriching and supportive. This is also a very important part of the process. I am already looking forward to the next treatment, which will again be different because each part of the body, each meridian in the body is unique ☺. ❞
