Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a holistic massage technique that uses fingertip pressure to stimulate energy pathways on the body.  

 

These pathways, called meridians, circulate bioelectric energy (chi or the Japanese term ki) throughout the body along specific channels.  When the flow of ki becomes imbalanced through blockage, pain or illness can result.  

 

The practitioner presses down on meridians to free up this bioelectric flow.
