Acupressure/Shiatsu In Japanese, shiatsu means "finger pressure." This Japanese massage technique uses varied, rhythmic pressure on certain precise points of the body. These points are called acupressure points, and they are believed to be important for the flow of the body's vital energy, called chi. Proponents say shiatsu massage can help relieve blockages at these acupressure points.
