1. About Shiatsu massage

Shiatsu is a type of body massage that was developed in Japan over 100 years ago, based
on ideas taken from traditional Chinese medicine. The basic principle is that there is a sys-
tem of energy channels (meridian system) within the human body. The objective of a Shiatsu
massage is to boost the physical, emotional and mental well-being of the treated person. To
this end, energy blockages in the energy channels must be removed and the self-regulating
powers of the body must be stimulated.
Shiatsu therapists achieve this by applying pressure in flowing movements along the energy
channels (meridians). Although Shiatsu literally translates as "finger pressure", treatment is
not just given with the fingers but also with the heels of the hand, elbows and knees. The
therapist uses their whole body weight to create the necessary pressure.

2. Getting to know your device
