Shiatsu, literally "finger pressure" is a Japanese manual therapy consisting mostly of compression massage applied to specific points on the body with the therapist's fingers and palms, combined with mobilizing stretches. Used over precise junctions and movement points of muscles and nerves, it also encompasses locations and functions of blood vessels, the digestive and lymphatic systems, organs of the endocrine system, reflex zones and their relations to internal organs. Shiatsu therapy helps normalize the balance between elements of the autonomic nervous system, enhancing the body's self-healing power, in other words, enhancing "vital energy".
