The History Of Shiatsu Massage

In the 6^th century, traditional Chinese medicine was introduced in Japan and began to develop to suit the local customs. Anma or tui na is the traditional Chinese massage which was used more as a relaxation method instead of healing.

About 14 centuries later, Tamai Tempaky invented the massage therapy called Shiatsu. In order to keep the healing aspect in the traditional Chinese massage, he found ways to incorporate the Western physiology with many other chiropractic principles and his own style of massage to create a new form. This new form of massage got its first nam as ‘’ shiatsu ryoho’’ but it became well known as Shiatsu over time. Shiatsu massage is not tui na or any kinds of Western massage but a unique form of therapy born out of the combination of other forms.
