Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shiatsu is a Japanese bodywork technique that entails applying pressure to specific points on the body to promote healing, relaxation, and general well-being. The Japanese term "shiatsu" translates to "finger pressure," which is the primary technique utilized in this modality. Shiatsu is founded on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine and combines acupuncture, acupressure, and massage techniques. Shiatsu practitioners believe that vital energy, known as Qi (pronounced "chee"), circulates through a network of meridians or energy channels in the body. The body is healthful when the flow of Qi is balanced and harmonious. Nevertheless, when the flow of Qi is obstructed or disrupted, it can result in physical or emotional discomfort, pain, or illness. Shiatsu seeks to restore the body's Qi balance and promote natural healing. The recipient remains completely clothed and reclines on a comfortable mat or futon during a typical shiatsu session. Concentrating on specific points along the meridians or energy pathways, the practitioner applies pressure and manipulates the recipient's body using their fingertips, palms, elbows, and knees. Shiatsu may also involve massages, joint rotations, and other techniques for relieving stress, enhancing circulation, and promoting relaxation.
