What is Macrobiotic Shiatsu..?
The origin of the Japanese word "shiatsu" is not certain. Over the centuries, information that makes up the shiatsu techniques was gathered through trial and error. The healing techniques that are fundamental to shiatsu probably originated in ancient China, and later came to Japan. Shiatsu is a synthesis of Judo principles, Do-In (self massage), and ancient massage. The first syllable in shiatsu, shi means fingers and the second, atsu indicates pressure. Therefore, shiatsu means "to apply pressure on the body with the fingers." more..>
