What shiatsu actually involves, and how people use it.
You stay clothed and usually lie on a mat while the practitioner applies pressure with thumbs, palms and sometimes elbows, along with gentle stretches. Many people find it both relaxing and energising. Sessions usually last 45 to 60 minutes.
Shiatsu is a Japanese hands-on practice rooted in the same tradition as acupuncture, working with the body through pressure and movement rather than needles.
