What is a Shiatsu massage?
Used by professional massage therapists around the world, Shiatsu is a Japanese physical therapy technique, which literally translates as “finger pressure”. The technique primarily involves the application of gentle pressure using the thumbs to stimulate your acupoints. You body has over 300 acupointsplaces where energy flows through. These acupoints need to be “opened” in order for energy to flow through and for you to feel healthy. Firm pressure on these acupoints will relax and open them. The Panasonic massage chair can stimulate over 110 of these acupoints with effective deep tissue massage. Panasonic’s massage loungers replicate the Shiatsu massage technique, to massage over 27-30″ along your back, neck, and shoulders for a relaxing massage.
