What is a shiatsu massage?
A traditional Japanese massage using finger and palm pressure along the body's energy points — the name means 'finger pressure'. Done through clothing without oil, often with gentle stretching, and chosen for tension, stress and stiffness.
How is it different from other massages?
It's done clothed and uses pressure rather than gliding oil strokes — closer to acupressure. It shares ideas with Thai massage (energy lines, clothed, stretching) but is Japanese and more static, holding sustained pressure on points.
What should I expect?
You stay clothed in loose clothing — no oil or undressing. The therapist applies pressure with fingers, thumbs and palms and may add gentle stretches. Tell them your pressure preference; it should be firm but comfortable, not painful.
