Shiatsu is a physical therapy that originated in Japan and dates back over 100 years. It is based on holistic Chinese medicinal practices that aim to correct imbalances of energy flow in the body. The word itself translates as 'finger pressure', which explains why Shiatsu is sometimes described as a 'finger pressing massage'. Therapists use finger and palm pressure to improve the flow of energy around the body. It is designed to relieve pain, alleviate stress and improve circulation.
