What is the difference between acupressure and shiatsu?
TiffanyBaileyfb1795
Shiatsu and acupressure are forms of Asian Bodywork Therapy. They use pressure, stretching, and other manipulations to relieve stress and pain and to promote health. The difference between acupressure and shiatsu is that in acupressure you focus on a point or series of points to correct energy flow. This is done also in shiatsu, but there is an emphasis in balancing the interaction of the energetic flow in the meridian system. Shiatsu uses stretches to balance meridians as well.
