A Japanese Shiatsu massage is given by a therapist with pressure on certain areas of the body. Working on the same principle of acupuncture, it helps to relieve pain, stiffness, tension, and stress. As the therapist works on certain pressure points, they may at first be tender. After a while, there can be a lessening of pain and tension. You can receive a massage that is similar, with a Therapist Select Shiatsu massaging cushion. There are several different models to choose from, and they all have a two year warranty.
