Shiatsu is a type of massage therapy that was primarily developed in Japan. With its name derived from the Japanese term for "finger pressure," it involves applying pressure to specific points on the body, moving from one point to another in a rhythmic sequence.

As in acupressure, practitioners of shiatsu apply pressure to points on the body thought to be connected to pathways called "meridians".

By stimulating these points, such therapists aim to promote the flow of vital energy (also known as "chi") and facilitate healing. According to the principles of TCM, blockages in the flow of chi can contribute to a wide range of illnesses.

Shiatsu is often used to lessen stress and protect against stress-related health issues.

In addition, shiatsu is said to promote healing in conditions like anxiety, arthritis, back pain, constipation, headache, insomnia, menstrual problems, neck and shoulder pain, premenstrual syndrome, sciatica, and sinus problems. Shiatsu is also said to increase energy, promote recovery from injuries, and stimulate the digestive system.
