Shiatsu is excellent for stress management and pain management. Shiatsu means “finger pressure” in Japanese. Shiatsu therapists use their thumbs to apply strategic pressure to muscles and connective tissues. The pressure can help trigger the release of chemicals, like cortisone, that help the body heal itself.

Practitioners of  Zen or Five Elements Shiatsu therapy use the pressure-point massage for another reason — to balance the body’s chi (energy), a practice that comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine.
