Shiatsu massage is a traditional Japanese therapeutic technique that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body using fingers, thumbs, and palms. This non-invasive therapy is rooted in the principles of traditional Chinese medicine and is designed to balance the body's energy flow, or "Qi," to promote healing and restore physical and mental well-being. The massage often targets meridians—pathways through which energy flows—helping to release tension, improve circulation, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
