Shiatsu treatment
Invigorate the senses with a Japanese shitatsu massage.
Shiatsu - literally "finger pressure" - is a Japanese massage practice founded in 1940. The technique involves using fingers and palms to apply pressure to the body in order to correct imbalances and restore energy flow. The massage is not only relaxing but in use with meditation can stimulate the mind and invigorate the spirit.
InsideJapan are pleased to work with fully licenced and experienced shiatsu practitioners to offer an authentic 30 minute massage treatment.
