Shiatsu massage is a form of massage technique that is based on acupuncture points whereby pressure is applied to these particular points with finger, palm and thumb as opposed to acupuncture needling. In Japanese, the literal translation for shiatsu would be "finger pressure" and that's how shiatsu got its name.
If you study shiatsu before, you will know that this form of massage is actually an art form that uses the power of yin and yang, Ki energy and the five elements of Japanese culture. All these elements and energy when manipulated correctly can effectively eliminate any pain or illness from your body.
