I'm looking for a massage in Ginza. How is shiatsu different?
Shiatsu is a Japanese technique that applies steady, perpendicular pressure with the thumbs and palms. At Namikoshi Shiatsu Salon, the hands have been passed down through four generations of the family that originated shiatsu in 1925, easing tension in the shoulders and lower back and helping the body relax.
My shoulders and lower back feel stiff. Can shiatsu help me relax?
Yes. We first ask about how your body feels, then tailor the session to you, working to soothe tight muscles, ease tension, and bring a sense of relaxation. This is not a medical treatment, so if pain persists, please also consult a medical professional.
