Shiatsu Massage uses finger pressure on specific points to stimulate natural self-curative abilities of the body. Shiatsu is a therapy ideally suited to preventing sickness.

How it Works

The benefits of Shiatsu are achieved by diffusing the lactic acid and carbon dioxide that accumulates in the tissues which cause stagnation of the blood and muscular stiffness. These accumulations cause irregular secretions in the skeletal system and internal organs. Shiatsu restores flexibility and relieves pain. Namikoshi Shiatsu is based on the physiology and pathology of 660 zones, (tsubo [ツボ] or [壷]) where blood vessels, lymph glands, nerves and the endocrine system concentrate. In Japanese, Shiatsu [指圧] means finger pressure.
