Shiatsu is a massage technique from Japan. In fact the word Shiatsu means "finger pressure." Despite its name this massage therapy not only utilizes the fingertips but also thumbs, palms, knees, forearms, elbows and the massage therapist can even use the feet. They apply pressure to the meridians or energy lines. This is done to "promote good health by stimulating the body's energy flow." Sessions can take from 40-60 minutes and will be done on a padded mat on the floor. It commences with gentle stretching and manipulation to help relax and stimulate the movement of energy in the muscles. Pressure can either stimulate or calm the patient. The specific needs of the patient will determine the amount of pressure that needs to be applied.
