Shiatsu: Definition literally means finger pressure. Natural body weight is used when pressure is applied on special points of the body. Through this pressure, the energy "Chi" flows in the meridians "channels of chi". When chi stagnates, the body becomes ill. Each meridian corresponds with an organ and is named after that specific organ. This technique is used mostly on the floor for better manipulation.

Deep tissue: Slow strokes and deep finger pressure on areas that simply ache or feel contracted. This is used to go deep into the layers of muscles and fibers. When an area is over worked or injured, layers of scar tissue are formed. This is the way the body protects itself, causing shortening of the muscle (contracted state) and restricting our mobility in that affected area. Over time, toxins are released.
