Japanese shiatsu massage entails putting pressure on certain places all over the body. The Japanese word "shiatsu" means "finger pressure" in English. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is the theoretical foundation of this massage method. It centers on the idea of qi (or Chi), the life force energy that is thought to circulate throughout the body via channels called meridians. Rhythmic pressure is applied to different areas along the body's meridians by use of fingers, thumbs, palms, and occasionally elbows or knees during a Shiatsu massage. The objective is to encourage a state of harmony and health by enhancing the flow of Qi. The client stays completely clothed while the shiatsu practitioner works on them on a futon or mat laid out on the floor. To alleviate stress and promote better energy flow throughout the body, Shiatsu practitioners may use finger pressure, stretches, and joint rotations, among other techniques. As a holistic method, it helps with issues including pain, stress, tension, and imbalances in the body. It's important to remember that Shiatsu is its own type of bodywork with its own specific methods and approaches, often including parts of Western medicine's anatomy and physiology, even though it has certain similarities with traditional Chinese medicine. It is recommended that you discuss any health issues with a licensed professional before undergoing a Shiatsu session, as is the case with any type of massage or bodywork.

In the 70’s Shizuto Masunaga Sensei, creator of Keiraku shiatsu (meridian shiatsu), delivered four-week correspondence courses providing students with his own purpose-written material. We saw these course books during a visit to the Iokai Shiatsu Centre in Tokyo and given their valuable content decided to translate and publish them. Other than their historical interest, we believe the four volumes (this is the second) will be extremely helpful to shiatsu students, practitioners and teachers alike. The extensive topics covered in the four manuals range from the history of shiatsu, the Japanese legislature on the subject, how to execute pressure and the rules to follow, basic techniques, exercises for he alth, shiatsu as first aid, clinical shiatsu, shiatsu for children and aesthetics.

In the 70s, Shizuto Masunaga Sensei, a great master and the creator of Keiraku shiatsu (meridian shiatsu) conducted four-month correspondence courses. He sent his students the four manuals he had written to purpose. Given their valuable content, we decided to translate them from Japanese, believing them to be of great help to students, practitioners, and teachers of shiatsu alike. This fourth and last volume illustrates clinical shiatsu, examining a series of common “ailments” and recommending the most appropriate meridian treatment, from the illustration of the symptoms to “how to assess” and “how to cure”. Each section is supported by figures giving the meridian pathways. The final week also considers shiatsu for children and beauty. The concepts are accessible to everyone and are useful for we as practitioners and for the recipients we practice on. Shizuto Masunaga was truly a master, and his words always have something to teach us.

For the first time in decades, a major figure in Oriental medicine is offering a book redefining the meridian system upon which the field is based. Author Tetsuro Saito is one of few international figures in shiatsu therapy with schools in Europe and North America. "Shin So Shiatsu: Healing the Deeper Meridian Systems" -- a rich compendium of 40,000 words, 300 figures and charts, and 130 black-and-white photographs -- is presented in two parts. The first book details the history, theory, principles, and techniques of Shin So Shiatsu. The second, a handy "Practitioner's Reference Manual," is intended for use in the treatment room. "Shin So Shiatsu" is for shiatsu therapists, acupuncturists, acupressurists, and practitioners of other energy-based approaches. Anyone who engages with Oriental medicine or is interested in the human energy system will want to read this major revision to a centuries-old approach. Its theoretical and practical uses will make it an essential textbook for schools and workshops. Highly regarded as the "father of shiatsu" in Canada, where he is now based, Saito introduced Canadians to the Japanese art of "finger pressure" in 1971, just as the West was discovering acupuncture. For the past 40 years, Saito has treated thousands of patients, trained hundreds of therapists worldwide, and pursued his own research on energy-based healing with a rare diligence. "Shin So Shiatsu: Healing the Deeper Meridian Systems" represents this lifetime of work. Saito picked up where his mentor, renowned meridian-therapy pioneer Shizuto Masunaga left off when he died in 1981. Until now, Masunaga's "Zen Shiatsu" (Japan Publications Inc, 1977) has been unsurpassed as the primary guide for beginning students and experienced practitioners alike. "Shin So ("deeper level") Shiatsu" is a long-awaited step forward, and promises to reach a far broader audience of healing artists. Saito links the most ancient and forgotten tendrils of Chinese meridian theory with Masunaga's insights, his own remarkable findings, and the invaluable research being undertaken by other contemporary Oriental medical pioneers. Born in Japan and trained there -- first as an engineer and then a shiatsu therapist -- Saito merges the frontiers of science and healing arts to take our view of the human energy matrix far beyond the familiar Traditional Chinese Medicine meridian chart. His alternative is a far more complex, yet comprehensible view of the human body at work. A natural teacher, he illustrates with striking clarity how our road map of the Regular Meridian system has been abridged over time for simplicity's sake. He presents in painstaking detail the complete view of the Regular Meridians as they manifest at three levels of imbalance. He then fully details each of the lesser known, but equally important, Extra, Divergent, Ocean, and Cosmic energy systems, and explains how they interrelate with each other. He grounds us in this theory, then tells us exactly what to do with it. This is the crux of his work: "Shin So Shiatsu" enables any ordinary practitioner to "sense" and precisely trace the multitude of meridian pathways in the human body, to identify the levels at which energy imbalances occur, and to treat those imbalances -- with astonishing results. Practitioners of meridian-based therapies will instantly recognize the veracity and sincerity of this master's approach. "Shin So Shiatsu" is not a beginner's guide: Saito asks his readers to have a basic working knowledge of shiatsu or other meridian-based modalities. But with even a minimum of experience, practitioners from a diversity of backgrounds will quickly be able to integrate the key elements of "Shin So Shiatsu" into their own work.
