Understanding Shiatsu Therapy
Shiatsu therapy, similar to acupressure, focuses on treating the cause as well as the symptoms of a patient by addressing deficient (Kill) and excess (Jit) meridians. Practitioners use tonification to slowly increase pressure on deficient meridians, leading to the healing and normalization of excess ones. A successful shiatsu practitioner follows a healthy diet, low in meat and dairy, avoiding cold food to aid digestion.
