Shiatsu literally means "finger pressure" and is a traditional Japanese massage technique which can rebalance the body and ease both mental and physical tension by applying pressure to the body's energy channels, or meridians. Covering the spiritual as well as the practical, this guide includes the concept of Ki or Chi energy, the essential building blocks of Shiatsu in practice, how different parts of the body can be used to transmit energy, and how Shiatsu complements traditional Chinese medicine.
