A large number of Americans are discovering the pleasurable and
theraputic uses of Shiatsu, a Japanese method of finger pressure on the
accupuncture points. A Shiatsu treatment can make you feel relaxed, yet
energetic; years younger, free of nervous tension, fatigue and
stiffness. Or Shiatsu can be used to relieve such varied problems as
arthritis pain, headaches, impotence, and hemorrhoids. Best of all,
while it invigorates and cures pain and tension, Shiatsu gives you a new
way to understand your friends--by touching them.
In this book Wataru Ohashi, one of the most knowledgeable and well-known
U.S.-based Shiatsu experts, tells how you can learn to perform Shiatsu
at home on yourself and your friends. Mr. Ohashi, who has taught and
practiced Shiatsu in this country for years, has written specifically
for a Western audience, focusing on the common discomforts that bother
us here in the West. He has provided clear explainations of all the
technical terms and attractive photographs throughout to illustrate the
Shiatsu techniques and the exact locations of the pressure points. He
also included special "Shiatsu Excercises" designed to keep your energy
flowing.
