Shiatsu

Shiatsu means thumb point pressure. The person/ client wears her/his comfortable cloths. The therapist uses either the thumb or other "tools" like , palm, elbow, foot or knee for massage. The pressure points are on meridians. It is based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It can be also used in Psychology treatments to support the expressions of "out of balance" emotions.

I have learned Shiatsu treatment for general energy flow on the extremities, back, head and face. It is a relaxing massage technique.

Shiatsu can be given on a floor or table. The breath rhythm gives the timing of the pressure.
