What is Meridian Shiatsu?
Known in the West as "Zen Shiatsu", Meridian Shiatsu was founded by Shizuto Masunaga to treat minor and major imbalances of body and mind by applying pressure on meridians (energy paths in the body). Its foundations are found in Traditional Oriental Medicine, though Masunaga developed a treatment approach incorporating Japanese concepts and techniques, and developing the theory of the extension of the meridians. He also developed Meridian exercises.
