What is the difference between Shiatsu and Thai Massage?
The techniques of shiatsu and thai massage have much in common. Either approach is suitable for most people and our practitioners typically incorporate both disciplines during a bodywork session. The major difference is that Shiatsu is based upon the principles of Chinese and Japanese meridians of energy and utilizes pressure on acupuncture points to accomplish health goals. Thai massage is influenced by yoga asanas and emphasizes meditative rhythmic hand pressure and deep stretches. Both include range of motion joint rotations and basic stretches and work the entire body.
