Shiatsu is an ancient and widely practiced Japanese form of acupressure that literally means “finger pressure.” The practitioner applies rhythmic pressure for three to 10 seconds on specific points along the body’s meridians (energy channels) using the fingers, hands, elbows, knees and even feet. Shiatsu is designed to treat the whole body, but can also be effective for specific ailments. A branch of shiatsu originated in the U.S. by Wataru Ohashi is called Ohashiatsu. Training at the Boulder School of Massage Therapy is 120 hours as part of a 1,000-hour certification program in massage therapy.
