Needing no equipment, machinery or oils, shiatsu is an ideal therapy for self-help. This book provides a guide to the theory behind shiatsu and the basics of traditional Chinese medicine - what ailments can be helped by the technique and what to expect when visiting a practitioner. Included are details of shiatsu schools and other organizations.
