Format:Paperback
Elaine Liechti has done a wonderful job of sharing her passion and knowledge of shiatsu. This book is a complete, concise, yet easy-to-understand introduction to shiatsu; what it is, the history, the different schools of shiatsu, the basic principles, and how to do it. The book is well structured and has lots of diagrams, photos and illustrations to capture your interest. This book is certainly the most comprehensive and comprehensible book on shiatsu I have seen. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in shiatsu.

Excellent beginners manual.
2 Feb 1999
Format:Paperback
Well written, interesting lay out, packed with facts on the migration of Chinese methods to Japan and the evolution of current methods. Photography is beautiful. Text is easy to read and understand. Hand in hand they show clearly: how it works, why it works and how to do it. A must for anyone considering learning this form of massage therapy for themselves and others.

Apart from one dismissive comment on acupuncture, I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in shiatsu.
