Shiatsu is a form of Japanese bodywork therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body using fingers, thumbs, palms, and elbows. The word "shiatsu" translates to "finger pressure" in Japanese.

"Tao Shiatsu" combines elements of shiatsu with the principles of Taoism. It was developed by Ryokyu Endo, a Japanese Shiatsu therapist, in the 1970s.

Shiatsu is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, particularly the concept of Qi (energy) and meridians (energy pathways) in the body. It is believed that when the flow of Qi is disrupted or blocked, it can lead to physical and emotional imbalances and health problems.

In Tao Shiatsu, the practitioner uses their hands, fingers, elbows, and knees to apply pressure to specific points along the meridians to release blockages and restore the flow of energy. The pressure is applied in a rhythmic and continuous manner, allowing the recipient to deeply relax and enter a state of meditation.

During a shiatsu session, the practitioner uses various techniques such as kneading, stretching, and gentle joint manipulation to stimulate the body's energy flow. The recipient remains fully clothed and lies on a mat or futon on the floor. Shiatsu can be performed on the entire body or focus on specific areas of tension or discomfort.

Shiatsu is often used to promote relaxation, reduce stress, relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and support overall well-being. It is considered a holistic therapy that addresses both physical and emotional aspects of health. It is important to note that shiatsu should be performed by a trained and qualified practitioner.
