"Shiatsu" is a Japanese word meaning "finger pressure" and is Japan’s equivalent of the Chinese method of acupressure. It is a "hands-on" therapy that uses the fingers and palms of one's hands to apply pressure to particular sections on the surface of the body for the purpose of correcting the imbalances of the body, and for maintaining and promoting health. Shiatsu massage treats common psychological and physical complaints and is often used to treat or alleviate disorders such as depression, anxiety, nausea, stiffness, headaches, arthritis, cramps, or pulled muscles.
