Shiatsu, a modern system of manual therapy from Japan, helps restore health and relieve pain by way of pressure to the body’s energy flows and key acupuncture points. It has been called “acupuncture without needles” as it provides many of the same benefits of the more ancient system by way of its simple and yet powerful approach to treatment.
