Shiatsu
If you like deep tissue, you’ll love Shiatsu.
Therapists use their thumbs—plus elbows, knees, and feet—to deliver intense pressure and to balance your chi (energy), a serious healing bonus.
The Japanese massage is great for stubborn knots and pain, and may include lots of stretches.
That’s why it’s often given on a floor mat, and you’ll likely be asked to wear loose-fitting clothing.
