Shiatsu Massage

Shiatsu is a form of acupressure that combines pressure with the application of long strokes over the body's energy fields. According to practitioners of this ancient form of massage, the strokes are just as important as the activation of the pressure points. Using stretches, joint rotations and joint manipulation, shiatsu is a holistic treatment that aims to heal mind, body and spirit. The client is usually fully clothed, lying or sitting on a futon on the ground. (Shiatsu also can be practiced in warm water, where the muscles can relax intensely.)
