Shiatsu is a form of Japanese massage based on the concepts found in traditional Chinese medicine and has been practiced for thousands of years. Shiatsu translates to “figure pressure,” although a therapist may also use knuckles, elbows, thumbs, palms, feet, and other body parts.

This technique involves pressing specific points in the body to reduce fatigue, pain, and tension by improving lymphatic and blood circulation. The techniques used include holding, stretching, and leaning body weight into various points. No mechanical instruments are used.

Shiatsu is often used to protect against stress-related health issues. Shiatsu can also promote healing conditions such as anxiety, arthritis, back pain, constipation, depression, headaches, healing, muscle pain, premenstrual syndromes, relaxation, relief, skin conditions, sleep, sports injuries, and general well-being.
