Book Description

In this compact, exhaustive, scientifically oriented text and guidebook, Toru Namikoshi discredits erroneous interpretations that confuse shiatsu therapy with traditional Japanese amma massage.

About the Author


The oldest son of TOKUJIRO NAMIKOSHI, founder of the Japan Shiatsu College, TORU NAMIKOSHI was born on the island of Hokkaido in 1931. After graduating from the Art Department of Nihon University in 1953, he traveled to the United States, where he spent seven years introducing shiatsu. After returning to Japan, he became assistant director of the Japan Shiatsu College. A leading advocate of modern shiatsu therapy, he yearly makes trips to the United States, Canada, and Europe to hold seminars and offer guidance. In this way he contributes greatly to the internationalization of this therapeutical system. He has written Shiatsu Therapy: Theory and Practice, Shiatsu + Stretching, The Shiatsu Way to Health, and many books in Japanese.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible of shiatsu and accupressure. Buy this book., Mar 9 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Book of Shiatsu Therapy: Health and Vitality at Your Fingertips (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A reference manual for Shiatsu practitionner, Feb 22 2005
By Taoucaros - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Complete Book of Shiatsu Therapy: Health and Vitality at Your Fingertips (Paperback)
You want to learn the right techniques to practice shiatsu? Then, get this book. It is the best reference you could get. "The complete book of shiatsu therapy" is a practical guide that shows you the points to press during a routine treatment or for a particular ailment or disorder, it shows you the points location and their anatomical correspondance.

You may like or dislike the fact that this book does not reflect the eastern medical phylosophy (what meridian is he working on now?), as opposed to "Zen Shiatsu". It offers you an excellent basis to become a great shiatsu "technician".

Learning Shiatsu is like learning a martial art, you learn the techniques, master them and then search for more knowledge and keep improving...
