Developed from a traditional from of Japanese massage, Shiatsu is based upon the same philosophy and medical theory as acupuncture and other oriental healing methods. Literally translated, Shi-atsu means 'finger pressure', but practitioners also use their palms, knees and forearms, and employ stretching techniques. These combine in a simple but effective from of treatment used to promote health and general well-being, as well as to cure illness and prevent future problems. In this straightforward step-by-step guide, Oliver Cowmeadow introduces us to the ways in which Shiatsu can be beneficial to both the person giving and the person receiving. Shiatsu: A Practical Introduction clearly explains: the role of energy in Shiatsu; how to give a full body Shiatsu treatment; how to eat an energetically balanced diet to promote health; how to treat simple health problems with Shiatsu; methods of oriental diagnosis; common uses of acupressure points; energy balancing exercises for yourself
