Shiatsu literally means 'finger pressure' and is a massage modality that originated in Japan. It is one of the most popular bodywork modalities in Japan and gaining popularity in the US and Europe. It is based on the holistic system of Chinese medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which is focuses on balancing of the natural flow of life-force-energy called 'Qi' in the body. Shiatsu can calm an overactive sympathetic nervous system which will improve body circulation, relieve stiff muscles, and alleviate stress.
