Shiatsu is a Japanese word meaning finger pressure. It is an application of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and was developed by Shizuto Masanaga in 1977. Shiatsu evolved from earlier forms of Chinese (Tuina) and Japanese (Anma) massage and uses hand pressure and body manipulation techniques to balance the body's natural energy to ward off illness and promote optimum health.

Note: Shiatsu is performed fully clothed on comfortable floor mats. Please call Sensei Jones at 603.524.4780 for an appointment or email him at sensei@sachemselfdefense.com.
