couch. Clothing, other than shoes need not be removed. To receive maximum benefit it is best to wear thin cotton clothes. A T-shirt and light trousers are ideal.

Modern Shiatsu has relatively few techniques compared with Tui Na, especially manipulations. This has lead to the borrowing of some Thai massage stretches which are becoming more and more common place in today's Shiatsu.

Shiatsu is usually performed very slowly in near silence and one reason for this is that it is essentially the application of intuitive touch. It requires deep concentration and fine tuning of the practitioner's sense of touch for correct 'reading' of the tactile clues that guide the course of the massage. As with Chinese massage, the ultimate aim is to create harmony and balance in the body's vital energies so that it can heal itself.
