Reflexology
Otherwise known as zone therapy or compression foot massage, reflexology is a healing modality in its own right. It is based on the reflex points in the feet which connect with various parts of the whole body.

The Japanese have a very particular style of manipulative bodywork involving the direct stimulation of points on the body with concentrated pressure. It is known as Shiatsu, which literally means finger pressure. Shiatsu is actually a combination of Chinese acupressure with traditional Japanese massage (Anma).
