Shiatsu Therapy Theory & Practice Book by Toru Namikoshi (Preowned)

Authored by Toru Namikoshi—the eldest son of Tokujiro Namikoshi, the legendary pioneer who founded the Japan Shiatsu College and standardized modern Shiatsu—this authoritative guide bridges the gap between ancient Eastern wellness traditions and Western medical anatomy. Unlike purely mystical approaches, the Namikoshi method grounds its practice firmly within modern physiology, somatology, and anatomical science.

Through clear instructions and illustrative diagrams, this textbook details the precise hand placements, thumb pressures, and manipulation techniques required to stimulate the body’s natural recuperative powers. Whether you are looking to relieve chronic stress, eliminate muscle fatigue, or deepen your understanding of structural alignment and meridian channels, this classic text offers an indispensable foundation.
