Shiatsu is an ancient Japanese technique, which is based on remove the blockages of our vital energy (qi) through applying pressure on our body with fingers and palms.
Shiatsu dates back to the early 20th century, specifically to 1912.

This process is developed by the meridian points. If applying pressure on these meridians with the palms and fingertips, mainly the thumbs, we will be able to redirect and improve the circulation of energy and then, our health.
