This type of massage, which adds to others like the relaxing massage and the Massage Pilgrim, is a form of physical therapy originating in Japan that is based on the application of pressure on certain points of the body, using thumbs, fingers and palms of the hands, as well as stretching techniques and manipulation of the joints. The term “Shiatsu” translates from japanese as “finger pressure”.
