5.0 out of 5 stars from Introduction, February 20, 2006
This review is from: 60-Second Shiatzu: The Natural Way to Energize, Erase Pain, and Conquer Tension in One Munute (Paperback)
"Is your head a bit achy? Just hold your left hand out in front of you. Now place your right thumb on top and your right index finger underneath your left palm in the "web" between the thumb and base of the first finger. As you continue to read the next few paragraphs, simply massage with gentle, circular motions at this shatzu point using a light amount of pressure.

"Relief is on the way. You're sampling shiatzu at this very mement. See-there are no mystical movements to master or complicated techniques to learn. Most of the movements? do them in your street clothes, anytime and anywhere. With a little practice, no ne will even know you're recharging the natural, dur-free way....the movement you're doing is effective against headaches and toothaches... Now switch hands...

Siatzu is based on the Japanese art of massaging and applying pressure to the body on energy lines called meridians...

4.0 out of 5 stars Practical & Intelligent, March 1, 2009
This review is from: 60-Second Shiatzu: The Natural Way to Energize, Erase Pain, and Conquer Tension in One Munute (Paperback)
* This book is a nice pressure-point & self-health reference, something that I need as both an athlete and martial artist. I think it is especially important to martial artists, who are often under the delusion that pressure-points offer some magical instant solution to all opponents, when the reality is that the most successful pressure point applications may involve a full sequence of points. This book emphasizes those sequences, instead of individual points, as any good pressure-point or acu-pressure manual would.
*
Police studies in 7 nations over a course of 20 years revealed that pressure point tactics fail in over 70% of violent alternation cases, with alcohol, dugs or pure rage/ adrenaline decreasing the effectiveness of such moves. Therefore, the myth of the pressure point fighter is potentially hazardous to people in real need of self-defense. Instead, we should be focusing on pressure-point apps for self-healing.
*
This book presents pressure-point sequences for a large variety of common issues, from helping yourself wake up in the morning or settle down for bed at night to pumping up for a daily workout or recovering from the strains of too much work. Even women, suffering migraines or PMS, will find helpful sequences in this little book.
*
It is simple and easy to read, complete with pictures of every point and sequence. You need not know anything at all about pressure points or Chinese medicine, since this book does not bog you down in useless terms and numbers and meridians and such. It's just simple and practical info that you can apply for your everyday life and beyond.
