The book of shiatsu : a complete guide to using hand pressure and gentle manipulation to improve your health, vitality, and stamina / Paul Lundberg ; foreword by Pauline Sasaki ; photography by Fausto Dorelli.

Summary:

With shiatsu (a Japanese word meaning "finger pressure") you can release and stimulate the energy flowing through your body--using just your hands and fingers--to awaken your body's natural healing modalities. This book is a step-by-step guide; the techniques offered are simple and can be used to treat a variety of health problems, particularly arthritic conditions, backaches, emotional stress, headaches and migraines, intestinal disorders, menstrual and reproductive problems, and muscular pain and tension. Here you'll find more than 240 color drawings and photographs in a new accessible format, demonstrating how to give both whole-body and specialized massages, diagnose specific conditions, and work with the body's energy meridians.--From publisher description.
