What is Shiatsu?

Shiatsu is a massage style of Japanese origin based on finger and palm pressure; the name means finger pressure in Japanese. The therapist uses thumbs, palms and sometimes elbows to apply rhythmic pressure along the body lines, and may add gentle stretches. It is usually done without oil and in clothing. The U.S. National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) lists practices such as shiatsu and tuina among the massage traditions from Eastern cultures. Evidence for the health benefits of massage is limited in many areas; shiatsu should also be seen as a calm relaxation experience. The therapist often applies pressure using their own body weight. Each point is held under steady pressure for a few seconds, and the pressure is adjusted to your response.
