Hi, I'm a shiatsu therapist, so I feel qualified to answer this. Without the concept of Qi, the treatment would be exactly the same, as Shiatsu is defined by the techniques used.

Massage can be done for a person of any age, but many therapists and clinics require parental consent on minors and will often require a parent or guardian to be present in the room while the massage is being administered.

Why do people have to be nude during a massage?
Not all types of massage require the recipient to remove their clothing. For those types of massage which do require the removal of clothing, it is expected that client's arrive to their massage CLEAN and LEAVE ON A PAIR OF UNDERPANTS so that professional draping with a sheet can be performed during the massage. For the type of massage most people are familiar with, Swedish massage, removal of the clothing allows the therapist to more easily feel tense muscles, see the skin and body for signs of distress, and most clients enjoy the sensation of oil or lotion being applied. Without clothing, the therapist can use long sweeping strokes with more pressure, work more easily on areas like beneath the shoulder blades, and have an easier time manipulating tissues.
