Format:Paperback
Take it from someone who knows; this book is exactly what any would-be practitioner of Shiatsu and accupressure needs. If your just starting out, or if you've taken years of classes on the matter as I have, Mr. Namikoshi will show you step-by-step exactly what points to hit, in what order for maximum effectiveness, and using what positioning of the body as well as the hands and fingers you are applying with. No homeopathic practitioner should be without this book; I only wish I had more stars to work with. I must emphasize that I am not acting on Mr. Namikoshi's behalf, nor do hope to see anything except more people writing reviews such as this one other than myself, for that will mean that more people have gone out and found a copy themselves. Buy this book.

This book really gives the reader a great routine for Shiatsu Therapy. It also teaches which trigger points can be touched to heal symptoms like headaches, insomnia, sinusitis, etc.

You want to learn the right techniques to practice shiatsu? Then, get this book. It is the best reference you could get. "The complete book of shiatsu therapy" is a practical guide that shows you the points to press during a routine treatment or for a particular ailment or disorder, it shows you the points location and their anatomical correspondance.

You may like or dislike the fact that this book does not reflect the eastern medical phylosophy (what meridian is he working on now?), as opposed to "Zen Shiatsu". It offers you an excellent basis to become a great shiatsu "technician".

Learning Shiatsu is like learning a martial art, you learn the techniques, master them and then search for more knowledge and keep improving...
