Shiatsu + Stretching Book by Toru Namikoshi (Preowned)

Shiatsu + Stretching combines traditional Japanese shiatsu with practical stretching exercises designed to improve flexibility, mobility, relaxation, and overall physical well-being. Toru Namikoshi explains how stretching and pressure-point stimulation can complement one another, providing a systematic approach that can be incorporated into everyday practice.

Clearly illustrated exercises demonstrate stretches for different areas of the body while identifying important shiatsu points and areas of muscular tension. The material is intended to help readers understand how movement, stretching, and manual pressure can be used together as part of a balanced body-care routine.
