WHAT DOES SHIATZU MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Shiatsu

Shiatsu in Japanese means "finger pressure"; it is a type of alternative medicine consisting of finger and palm pressure, stretches, and other massage techniques. Shiatsu practitioners believe in a purported type of vital energy called qi that flows through the body, and that their manual manipulations can help to unblock it and so help the body heal itself. Tokujiro Namikoshi founded the first shiatsu college in 1940, and is credited with inventing modern shiatsu. The term shiatsu was already in use in 1919, when a book called "Shiatsu Ho" was published, and in 1925 the Shiatsu Therapists Association began, with the purpose of distancing shiatsu from Anma massage. A 2011 systematic review of shiatsu's effectiveness found that only a few studies had been carried out, and concluded that the available "evidence is improving in quantity, quality and reporting, but more research is needed." Commenting on this conclusion Edzard Ernst said: "what does that tell us about shiatsu? It clearly tells us that it is an unproven therapy".
