1. About the Shiatsu massage
Shiatsu is a type of body massage that developed in Japan over 100 years ago, based on ideas taken from
traditional Chinese medicine. The basic principle is that there is a system of energy channels (meridian
system) within the human body.
The objective of a Shiatsu massage is to boost the physical, emotional and mental well-being of the treated
person. To this end, energy blockages in the energy channels must be removed and the self-regulating powers of the body must be stimulated.
Shiatsu therapy achieves this through the application of pressure in flowing movements along the energy
channels (meridians). Although Shiatsu literally translates as ‘finger pressure’, treatment is not just given
with the fingers but also with the heels of the hand, elbows and knees. The therapist uses their whole body
weight to create the necessary pressure.
2. Getting to know your device

of a Shiatsu massage.
