Spreading the word about the healing power of Shiatsu is the focus of this book. After 30 years of receiving Shiatsu massage myself and performing Shiatsu treatment for thousands of others, my goal continues to be to introduce people to the outstanding benefits of this healing art. The number of Shiatsu clinics in Canada and the United States is growing, not to mention Europe and South America. These clinics are staffed with practitioners who attended Shiatsu massage school to receive formal Shiatsu massage training to perform this healing massage that was originated in the early 1900's by Tokujiro Namikoshi. Tokujiro, at age 7, spontaneously discovered the healing power of thumb and finger ("shi") pressure ("atsu") and eventually cured his mother's rheumatoid arthritis through continued massage.

Shiatsu history is filled with stories of successful healing. This Shiatsu book, written by a Shiatsupractor who studied under Shiatsu originator Tokujiro Namikoshi himself, will open your eyes to the wonderful healing effects of Shiatsu.
