Shiatsu (Japanese from shi, meaning finger,
and atsu, meaning pressure) - is a hands-on therapy technique originating
in Japan. Shiatsu follows similar principles to Chiropractic or western
massage using the principles of anatomy and physiology. The thumbs,
palms, and fingers (no knees or elbows are used in the foundation
form of shiatsu therapy) are used to apply pressure to designated
areas of the body.
