From the East...
A Japanese massage technique whereby pressure is applied to specific points (acupoints) located along the body's 14 energy channels (meridians) using the practitioner's fingers, thumbs, palms, elbows, knees and feet.
The aim of this pressure is to increase the flow of energy throughout the body as a whole, releasing energy blockages and allowing qi to flow more freely.
Shiatsu affects the muscles and joints as well as the internal organs and can be used to treat stress within the body as well as disorders relating to the muscles and skeleton (musculoskeletal system).
