Shiatsu

Shiatsu or Acupressure is a Japanese form of physical therapy that is based on principles of traditional Chinese medicine. It combines physical manipulation and pressure along meridians or energy paths. Energy (qi) flows in meridians and each mirrors a particular organ. Pressure along the meridians will remove blockages and restores the body's natural balance. Shiatsu may help as a stress reliever, as it is very relaxing and improves conditions such as back pains, asthma, constipation and even impotence. You may try some stretching exercises that may be practiced at home.
