Thorsons Introductory Guide to Shiatsu: How Does It Work? How Is Treatment Given? What Can It Help?

By Chris Jarmey

Shiatsu is a Japanese word meaning finger pressure. Like acupuncture, it is a therapy based on promoting health by stimulating energy - in this case by pressure on the skin. Needing no equipment, machinery or oils, shiatsu is an ideal therapy for self-help. This book provides a guide to the theory behind shiatsu and the basics of traditional Chinese medicine - what ailments can be helped by the technique and what to expect when visiting a practitioner. Included are details of shiatsu schools and other organizations.
