How Shiatsu Bodywork differs from Shiatsu Therapy.
Most bodywork systems fall within two broad levels of application and training:
1. Methods that primarily address muscular pain and distortion:
Swedish massage, sports massage, deep tissue massage and Shiatsu Bodywork are in this category. These methods do not require
an in-depth ability to diagnose and understand illnesses that result
from physiological dysfunction.
2. Methods that diagnose and treat physiological dysfunction:
Shiatsu Therapy falls into this category; using a comprehensive understanding of traditional oriental medicine.
