Shiatsu, which literally translates into "Finger (shi) Pressure (atsu)" in Japanese was developed in Japan, but is really a combination of Traditional Japanese Massage (Amma) and elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine.  The Shiatsu practioner applies pressure using their fingers, thumbs, palms, forearms, elbows, knees and feet to specific spots on the clients body that correspond with the Organ Meridian System (which is used in Chinese accupuncture) in order to restore the free flow of energy (Chi in Chinese or Qi in Japanese) throughout the body.  A Shiatsu massage is typically performed on a padded mat on the floor or on a massage table and the client is fully clothed (it's best to wear loose fitting, breathable clothing such as yoga or sweat pants and a light t-shirt).  I intend to try this form of massage in the not too distant future and I will report back when I do!  In the meantime, here is an excellent video that illustrates what a Shiatsu massage is like:
