Shiatsu during Pregnancy

What is Shiatsu?
Shiatsu is a form of healing through touch, originally developed thousands of years ago in Japan. It is now quite widely practiced throughout the world. Shiatsu shares much of its background theory with acupuncture and it has been referred to as acupuncture without needles. Like acupuncture, Shiatsu stimulates the body's vital energy (known as ki). Instead of needles, pressure is applied to various parts of the body and stretches, rocking movements and some massage movements are used. Shiatsu is calm and relaxing in nature, yet dynamic in effect; the body begins to re-adjust itself and healing takes place.
