Shiatsu is a form of Japanese bodywork that uses finger pressure, stretching, and other techniques to stimulate the body’s energy pathways, or meridians, and promote overall well-being. Practitioners use their fingers, thumbs, and palms to pressure specific points to release tension and balance energy flow.
