Shiatsu massage therapy is derived from the Asian culture of preventing injuries and ailments through specific pressure points throughout the body.  Pressure points in the body align with certain internal organs.  Stimulation of the pressure points through kneading, tapping, rolling and squeezing can re-energize the internal organs.  Physical and mental stress can be relieved with therapeutic massages.  The shiatsu massage chair directly massages these areas, helping to heal the internal problems associated with everyday stress while rejuvenating your physical strength.
