shiastu

Shiatsu is a Japanese term. Shi means fingers and atsu means pressure and it is similar to the theory of acupuncture. It is a method of Asian massage in which pressure is applied on different points of the fingers. The points are called shobo. This method treats stress, fatigue, discomfort, etc., and also identifies the effects of various diseases. In the case of disease, the energy flow is disrupted at these points. Shiatsu exerts pressure on the same points as acupuncture. In addition to the fingers, pressure is applied to the palms, knees, arms and legs during the Shiatsu process.
