Shiatsu is a form of massage based on traditional Chinese medicine that uses finger pressure along energy pathways called meridians to relieve physical ailments like back pain and digestive issues as well as mental and emotional conditions such as stress, anxiety, and depression. Pressure is applied using specific points on the body to stimulate the free flow of qi or chi through the meridians for healing and the removal of toxins.
