Luth taught Shiatsu massage at her clinic. Bond, trained as a masseuse in India, agrees with Luth that Shiatsu massage is catching on as form of health care throughout the world. Americans got out of touching each other, but touch can be very healing. Some people might think of Shiatsu massage as an alternative to other types of medical care, such as surgery and medications. Luth contends that massage therapy is com-plimentary to modern medical treatments.
Massage is a natural remedy.
Eighty percent of the world relies primarily on natural medicines. Matching with science Luth, along with other staff and students at the Shiatsu Clinic and School, are doing research to document the effectiveness of massage, and more specifically, Focused Touch Shiatsu Massage. A recent study showed it can have an effect on lower back pain. Focused Touch Massage is a type of Shiatsu that Luth has developed over the past 13 years through the clinic and school. The difference among the various kinds of massage is how the treatment is organized.
