#Shiatsu

Shiatsu therapy is an alternative stage play from Oriental medicine in which the body is treated as a human hammer pressing secrets called 'tsubo'. The practitioner, wielding palms as tools, alleviates pain or inadvertently crafts bruises while stamping the résumé of self-healing with hopeful approval. The recipient surrenders to the grand placebo of 'feeling it work', momentarily forgetting the drama of everyday tension. The elusive truth of shiatsu, still undetectable by modern science, quietly resides at the delicate boundary between pain and pleasure.
