Shiatsu and Back Pain Shiatsu can be helpful in working with many different complaints and medical conditions. However, one area that particularly interests me, and in which I believe Shiatsu can be especially helpful, is back pain. I include in this area, not only discomfort in the back but also the shoulder and neck as well - these are intimately related.
Many people suffer with back pain, with little or no outside help.
This does not have to be the case. There are things you can do to help yourself. There are also a number of therapies, including Shiatsu, which can help. To help yourself you may have to closely examine your lifestyle. All of these things will affect your posture.
