History of Shiatsu-
Shiatsu is a hands on therapy that originated in China 2000 years ago. The modern day type of Shiatsu evolved from Japan by Tokujiro Namikoshi. Its roots are in Traditional Asian Medicine. The word is in Japan and is broken down into two characters. "Shi" meaning finger and "atsu" meaning pressure. Shiatsu is very similar to acupuncture in blocking and unblocking the energy, but is very different. Shiatsu practitioners don't apply the needles like acupuncture and the massage is done with clothes on.
The benefits of Shiatsu and symptoms-
The benefits of Shiatsu is reduced stress and fatigue; increased circulation; reduced blood pressure, and improved muscle stiffness, and more energy. The affects after the massage can be different from each person. Depending on the person they might feel cold or have aches and headaches after the first treatment. The person might feel these affects for the day, but as they get more used to the treatment of Shiatsu they will feel better.
