Shiatsu is generally lumped in with acupuncture, They are both based on metaphysical concepts of traditional Chinese medicine through a concept that that "life energy (chi or qi)" flows through hypothetical (imaginary) channels called meridians and that ill health is due to energy blockages imbalances."
No scientific basis exists for the theory or the practice.


At best they do nothing . At worst they deter people from obtaining real medical treatments.
