Shiatsu is a kind of Japanese massage therapy developed in Japan, that has spread worldwide. The 1915 Japanese book, Shiatsu Rycho compiled by Tenpaku Tamai is among the most first written mention of modern Shiatsu.

As the therapy progresses, the therapist senses the health of the entire body, and applies suitable forms of pressure. The foundation rule is that, tighter the muscles are, the lighter the pressure. As the muscles relax, the pressure becomes deeper however it is always firm and steady. Knuckles, fists, elbows, and knees are never used during a Namikoshi Shiatsu Treatment because they lack the specified sensitivity.
