Shiatsu is Japanese for “finger pressure,” and consists of finger and palm pressure, stretches, and other massage techniques. Shiatsu is traditionally performed on a futon mat, with clients fully clothed. This type of massage therapy, as with Acupressure, concentrates on pressure points; however, it uses a more diverse range of techniques, such as stretching, rolling and vibrating. It can help in a wide range of conditions from specific injuries to more general symptoms of poor health. Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing experience and regular sessions help to prevent the build-up of stress in our daily lives.
