What is Shiatsu Massage?

Shiatsu Massage is a therapeutic massage method originating from Japan. It uses techniques such as finger, palm, or elbow pressure applied to specific points on the body. Shiatsu focuses on stimulating pressure points and energy pathways to promote natural relaxation and physical balance, typically without the use of massage oils.

History of Shiatsu Massage

Shiatsu developed in Japan in the early 20th century, based on principles from traditional East Asian medicine and acupressure techniques. In 1964, Shiatsu was officially recognized by the Japanese government as a legitimate therapeutic practice. Since then, it has spread internationally and is now widely applied in both manual massage therapies and modern massage devices.
