Introduction

Shiatsu is a Japanese word meaning "finger pressure". It is a new name for the oldest form of medicine
- healing with hands. Everybody has the healing power of touch and responds to touch. It is a natural
ability that people are now beginning to recognize again.Shiatsu uses hand pressure and manipulative techniques to adjust the body's physical structure and its natural inner energies, to help ward off illness,
and maintain good health.

Shiatsu is characterized by its great simplicity. It grew from earlier forms of massage, called Anma in
Japan (Anmo or Tuina in China) which use rubbing, stroking, squeezing, tapping, pushing, and pulling
to influence the muscles and circulatory systems of the body. Shiatsu, by contrast, uses few techniques and to an observer it would appear that little is happening - merely a still, relaxed pressure at various
points on the body with the hand or thumb, an easy leaning of the elbows or a simple rotation of a limb.
It almost seems a lazy activity and, to the extent that it conserves one's energy, it is. But underneath
the uncomplicated movements much is happening internally to the body's energy on a subtle level.

Subtle Energy in the Body

The Oriental tradition describes the world in terms of energy. All things are considered to be manifestations of a vital universal force, called 'Ki' by the Japanese, ''Chi", or 'Qi', in China. Because of the Japanese origins of shiatsu therapy, the Japanese word Ki is used in preference to the Chinese
word, Chi. Ki is the primary substance and motive force of life. It is most often described as "energy", but Ki is also synonymous with breath in the Japanese and Chinese languages. In Oriental medicine, harmony of Ki within the human body is conceived as being essential to health. All its endeavours are addressed to this end.
