What is shiatsu massage?

Shiatsu developed in Japan in the early 1900s as a result of a resurgence of Japan's traditional medical therapies, including acupuncture and anma massage. "Shiatsu" literally means "finger pressure" and serves the purpose of providing relaxation and treatment for various types of physical pain and discomfort. Shiatsu techniques include massages with fingers, thumbs, and palms, assisted stretching, joint manipulation, and mobilization.
