Shiatsu is a traditional hands-on therapy that originated in China 2000 years ago. Like acupressure Shiatsu use energy channels and pressure points are used to heal the body but wothout the needles. The techniques in shaitsu pratictioners are very different from of message therapist. Even though it orginated in China the word is in Japanese. The meaning of the word is broken down into two characters. "Shi" which means finger and "atsu" meaning pressure. I am very intereseted in learning how we can treat a persons physical and spiritual injuries just by making them relax.

Nice, I see that Shiatsu is similar to Acupuncture in a way. I'll be looking forward to your presentation to understand more of their similarities and differences.
