No comments Shiatsu, which means "finger pressure", is a well-known Japanese massage technique that typically involves applying pressure to the skin using fingers, thumbs, and palms. It may also use techniques such as holding, stretching, joint manipulation, and mobilization. The aim is to correct internal malfunctions, treat diseases, and promote good health. These days though, you don't need an expert shiatsu masseuse to experience these benefits because shiatsu is now present in massage chairs such as the TruMedic InstaShiatsu+ MC-750.
