Shiatsu
Shiatsu, whose name is the Japanese word for “finger pressure,” is healing massage that uses acupressure techniques along the body’s meridian lines, or energy channels. The practitioner applies pressure with hands, thumbs, elbows, and knees. This helps to balance energy flow, increases healthy functioning of the body’s vital organs, and relaxes and rejuvenates muscle tissue.
