Shiatsu is a massage therapy used for various illnesses and for pain relief in Japan. The massage has been used for many generations either as a treatment itself or to complement standard medicine practices. It is also used regularly to prevent diseases and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The therapy has been widely used as a whole treatment, this meaning that it is not just a cure for the body but also helps a person psychologically and emotionally.

It is considered to be one of the most relaxing experiences you will find and regular sessions will improve the quality of life and will greatly help those who are trying to manage their stress and anxiety levels.

Since medical research has proved on how stress impacts one’s life in a negative manner and it is the underlying cause for many diseases, widespread treatment involving Shiatsu should be beneficial for the general population’s health as it may prevent a lot of the thousands of illnesses that may be caused by stress.

Although there have been controversies involving this type of therapy, Shiatsu has managed to become recognized and officially regulated.

Practitioners are not just mere street healers as many alternative therapy practitioners usually are; Shiatsu practitioners learn for years to become masters at this art and undergo a great series of tests before their final exam.

Even after their final exam, experience is a must and they must gather thousands of hours of experience before being recognized as great therapists.

Shiatsu is a technique that can be very difficult to describe, it can’t be considered just massage as it has a high spiritual component for some and it can’t be described as merely a spiritual approach on health problems because most of the time it is based on extensive anatomy information with a more holistic component.

On the other hand, some forms of Shiatsu have a very scientific approach, so one must be careful when trying to describe it with simple words.
