Product Description

Beginner's Guide to Shiatsu is a concise guide to the basics of shiatsu -- Japanese "finger-pressure" (also called acupressure massage.) It clearly explains what shiatsu is and how it can be used. Shiatsu is an Asian technique of healing and relaxation that has been successfully used for centuries. Based on the idea that channels of energy flow through the body, shiatsu was developed to keep these pathways flowing freely to maintain maximum health. Using easy-to-follow illustrations, the author shows you how to relieve headaches, back pain, stress, and other common ailments. In addition, he provides a simple system of diagnosing possible organ problems, and offers nutritional guidelines based on the macrobiotic diet. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great illustrations, poor instructional technique, October 23, 1998

By	Laurie Larkin - [e-mail] (Maine) - See all my reviews

This book could have been more in-depth with written description. It is also geared more to the masseuse standing and the receiver sitting. I was looking for a typical massage setting, where the masseuse stands and the receiver is lying on a massage table. Illustrations clear and gave additional instruction.
