"shiatsu" の定義と意味

What is "shiatsu"?

Shiatsu is a form of therapeutic massage originating from Japan that uses finger pressure to improve the flow of energy within the body. Practitioners apply rhythmic pressure to specific points on the body to relieve tension, encourage relaxation, and improve overall well-being. Shiatsu is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine and aims to balance the body's energy pathways, known as meridians. It is valued for its ability to reduce stress, ease muscle stiffness, and support the body's natural healing processes.
