Product Description
Product Description
As a non-invasive therapy, interest in massage is growing amongst Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners. This textbook of shiatsu (Japanese massage) provides serious students of shiatsu with detailed coverage of the techniques, tools and treatment routines that can be adopted. The text gives a full review and explanation of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Zen shiatsu theory, including methods of diagnosis, and attempts to integrates the two. It then offers a "how to" approach, with detailed chapters on diagnostic and treatment techniques, shiatsu treatment routines in four positions and detailed locations and treatment procedures for each meridian.

As a Shiatsu practitioner I can say that this book has all the information that a person needs to get a good grip on the subject. It has well laid out treatment diagrams and good theoretical information.
The only downfall is the price, a little steep even for a hardback, but if you have the cash and are looking for a comprehensive book, this could be the one for you.

The Most Comprehensive Shiatsu Book to Date
16 Sep 2000
In "Shiatsu Theory and Practice" Beresford-Cooke explains in depth the information needed for the serious student of Zen Shiatsu. While there is no substitute for an excellent teacher, Beresford-Cooke's book is the authoratative text. I used this book in conjunction with 108 hours of classroom instruction. The illustrations of the meridians coupled with the description of their associated elements was highly understandable to the student and layperson alike.
In my studies of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu is an elective for my program. For others it is a center of concentration for their studies. For all of us, our worn and flagged copies of this book speaks well of it.

whole, holistic & very profound
31 Dec 2001
As a practitioner, I have never come yet across such a professional book that not only has so much well orgenized information, but is also clear and accurate .
I find this book to be worthy of being a must referance book to Shiatsu students as well as trained practitioners that are interested in the conection between the practical zen shiatsu and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Photographs & illustrations are particularly helpful and so is the index.

MOST COMPREHENSIVE TEXT AVAILABLE ON SHIATSU.
31 Mar 2001
As a student of Chinese medicine and a practitioner of eastern bodywork, I have found this title to be a wealth of information on the extended theory of meridians (Masunaga's model) and the perspective of TCM as it fundamentally applies to the practice of shiatsu This book is what the serious student of shiatsu needs to further their development as a practitioner. Excellent illustrations and photographs with thorough meridian maps and point associations.
