Shiatsu is a traditional form of body therapy from Japan. By balancing the flow of energy in the ‘acupuncture’ meridians, shiatsu can relieve many conditions, help prevent the build-up of stress, and restore vitality and well-being. Literally translated ‘finger pressure’, shiatsu involves comfortable pressure from the thumbs and palms applied to the energy channels and points in the body. Given through loose, comfortable clothing, shiatsu may also include gentle stretches and rotations of the limbs and joints.
