3. Introduction

Shiatsu is a form of body massage originally developed in Japan around 100 years ago. It is based on ideas
anchored in traditional Chinese medicine, in particular the meridian system, i.e. the paths in the human body
along which energy is conveyed. The aim of Shiatsu massage is to promote the physical, emotional, and
mental well-being of the person being treated by dissolving energy blocks and bottlenecks in the meridians
and stimulating the self-regulating ability of the body. Shiatsu therapists achieve this by exerting pressure in
flowing movements along the meridians.

Although Shiatsu can be literally translated as “finger pressure,” practitioners also use the base of their hands,
elbows, and knees as well as their fingers. In the process, the therapist will use his or her full body weight
in order to generate the required pressure.
Massage of a specific point on the sole of the foot may influence the corresponding organ of the body.
However, we recommend studying relevant literature and asking your doctor before using point reflex zone
massage.

This Shiatsu foot warmer can provide a soothing, effective Shiatsu foot massage with no help required.
Besides the intense Shiatsu massage, the foot warmer also provides a warming function. Both functions
can be used either at the same time or separately.
