Since they're based on one and the same system (Oriental Medicine) how different can they be?What's the difference between accupressure and shiatsu stroke?
one sounds like a weather station and the other sounds similar to something done in a bathroom after intake sushi.
"Acupressure/Shiatsu - An ancient Chinese method of finger pressure along the meridians or channels of the body. Pressure is applied - and may be sustained - to acupuncture points within order to release excess Chi or to bring heartiness to certain areas of the body. This is a blend of bodywork and gusto work. *Acupressure vs. Shiatsu - Shiatsu is typically done on a mat (clothing on) and incorporates stretching, palm pressure and exercises."
In addition to sungazer84's comment:
Acupressure is usually done to a specific area(s) to relieve a specific ailment.
Shiatsu Massage typically works on pressure points but is done to the total body along the different channels.
