In shiatsu massage, the aim is to remove the obstacles that block the flow of energy through the meridians of the body. The removal of these obstacles and the restoration of balance in the body are done by pressing the fingers – and at times the elbows, knees and feet – on the acu-points, also known as pressure points, along the meridians of the body. The shiatsu therapist also manipulates the areas adjacent to these pressure points to further stimulate the body’s capacity for healing and to enhance the feeling of wellness. After a session of shiatsu massage, you should feel a deep sense of calmness, relaxation and contentment.
