What is Shiatsu and why is it a beneficial back massage? Short for shiatsury�h�: shi, finger + atsu, pressure + ry�h�, treatment, Shiatsu Massage is the traditional Japanese finger pressure massage therapy applied to those areas of the body most often used in acupuncture. By applying pressure to these various points, the flow of vital energy, or Ki, is improved and tightened muscles relax.

Dr. Riter's, inventors of the pioneering Ergo Chair� Proper Posture Ball Chair, have developed the Shiatsu BACK� Custom Massager Back Support Cushion. What makes this contoured back support cushion unique is the exclusive design featuring 96 thumb-sized �nodes�. The nodes mimic a Shiatsu finger/thumb pressure massage. By placing focused pressure on the focal points of "Ki", the muscle fibers loosen, causing circulation to increase, and the nerves attending these muscles to relax. These nodes are resilient and they do not put pressure on the spine itself when the back support pad is properly positioned. When used, Shiatsu BACK�, will help improve blood and lymph circulation, relax back muscles, reduce muscle spasms, and allow comfortable airflow, preventing unpleasant heat build-up.

Doctor Riter�s Shiatsu BACK� Custom Massager Back Support Cushion can be used anywhere, in any position, though lying down on your back upon the floor or on a firm bed may provide the optimum benefit. If you've ever wondered how to untie the knots in your back, this hypoallergenic pressure-point massage cushion may do the trick.
