Shiatsu is a Japanese healing art which uses firm pressure with deeply nourishing massage. Shiatsu restores the body to health by stimulating and balancing energy channels. Shiatsu has been successful in treating a wide range of illnesses and is particularly good for stress-related disorders and for nourishing the body when depleted. Shiatsu is good when you are healthy too; it can be used as a preventative therapy and a deep form of relaxation.
