Understanding Shiatsu
What Makes Shiatsu Different from Other Massage Techniques?
Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese bodywork technique that uses finger, thumb, and palm pressure on specific points across the body rather than long oil massage strokes. Often combined with gentle stretching, Shiatsu focuses on relieving muscle tension, encouraging natural body movement, and promoting overall physical balance.
