Shiatsu therapy achieves this through the application of pressure in flowing movements along the energy
channels (meridians). Although Shiatsu literally translates as ‘finger pressure’, treatment is not just given
with the fingers but also with the heels of the hand, elbows and knees. The therapist uses their whole body
weight to create the necessary pressure.
