5.0 out of 5 stars It is as good as the previous review!, 20 May 2004

By	HMI (Australia) - See all my reviews

I bought this book after reading the previous review and I have to be honest this book is fantastic. Having just started a diploma in Zen Shiatsu this book not only offers clear photos illustrating the practioners body & hand position during the routine, it provides hand drawn illustrations indicating shiatsu point locations along muscles etc. This book is easy to read and understand and does a great job teaching you about anatomy and physiology. What is doesn't cover however is hara diagnosis and Kyo/Jitsu symptoms etc, instead it has a great section on treating specific pathological conditions diagrams and all. I would recommend this for all beginners in addition to S. Masunaga's 'Zen Shiatsu' & Chris jarmey's 'Complete Guide to Shiatsu'.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible of shiatsu and accupressure. Buy this book., 9 Mar 1999

By A Customer

Take it from someone who knows; this book is exactly what any would-be practitioner of Shiatsu and accupressure needs. If your just starting out, or if you've taken years of classes on the matter as I have, Mr. Namikoshi will show you step-by-step exactly what points to hit, in what order for maximum effectiveness, and using what positioning of the body as well as the hands and fingers you are applying with. No homeopathic practitioner should be without this book; I only wish I had more stars to work with. I must emphasize that I am not acting on Mr. Namikoshi's behalf, nor do hope to see anything except more people writing reviews such as this one other than myself, for that will mean that more people have gone out and found a copy themselves. Buy this book.
