Shiatsu literally means "finger pressure," and it is as simple as the name suggests. Yet it is not new. In the Orient, the system of key pressure points that is the foundation of this massage-like art has been used for its medicinal powers for thousands of years. Shiatsu helps to
* increase stamina
* relieve stress and fatigue
* improve sexual vitality
* improve complexion and skin tone
* relieve headaches, lower back pain, and a host of other common ailments
The Shiatsu Way to Healthgives you all the information you need to begin practicing shiatsu alone or with a partner, and to begin experiencing deep relaxation. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
