Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese massage therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body using fingers, thumbs, palms, elbows, and sometimes even knees and feet. This technique aims to balance the body’s energy flow, known as “qi,” and promote overall health and well-being.
Unlike other forms of massage, Shiatsu is typically performed through loose clothing and does not use oils. It combines elements of acupressure, stretching, and joint manipulation to relieve tension, improve circulation, and enhance flexibility
