Shiatsu is a versatile and subtle form of body therapy that is is revered in Japan as a very effective form of medicine. in both the prevention and treatment of illness.
According to the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare,
"Shiatsu therapy is a form of manipulation...to apply pressure to the human skin, correct internal malfunctioning, promote and maintain health, and treat specific diseases."
In Japan people seek out a licensed shiatsu therapist for health reasons rather than pleasure and it is considered a form of medical treatment. Having said that, Shiatsu is generally very comfortable to receive and commonly results in deep relaxation and a lasting sense of well being.
Shiatsu combines the best of massage (to relax muscles), stretching (to extend muscles), and acupressure (to address specific trigger points). Unlike massage, it recognizes that certain key points have important health functions. Unlike acupressure, which is static, Shiatsu utilizes dynamic motion in treating the body.
