Shiatsu – the most widely known form of acupressure, literally meaning "finger pressure" in Japanese, has been practiced for more than a thousand years in Japan. Shiatsu uses rhythmic pressure from 3 to 10 seconds on specific points along the body's meridians by using the fingers, hands, elbows, knees, and sometimes feet to unblock and stimulate the flow of energy. A session might also include gentle stretching and range-of-motions manipulations. Shiatsu is used to treat pain and illness, to relax the body and to maintain general health.
