Shiatsu was created in Japan in the early 20th century as a form of manual therapy that combines elements of traditional Japanese massage and Chinese medicine techniques. It was developed as a way to promote relaxation, reduce tension, and improve overall health by stimulating the body's natural healing abilities through pressure applied to specific points on the body.
