Shiatsu (meaning "finger- pressure" ) is a form of therapy of Japanese origin. Similar to acupuncture, this technique applies pressure to certain points on the face using your hands.
Using the same principles as Chinese medicine's acupuncture, good health is dependent on the free circulation of the energy, as know referred to as "Qi", throughout the body. Shiatsu combines massage technique by applying pressure on energy points. The process removes energy blockages caused by pain or tension to allow energy to circulate freely. Chinese medicine states that these energy points on the face connect to energy pathways on the entire body.
