Actor Pat Morita (The Karate Kid) demonstrates the basics of shiatsu massage in this nicely filmed video guide. Enlisting the aid of model Tarwyn Tate, Morita shows viewers how and where to apply finger pressure, as he massages the lower back, thighs, feet and hands, chest, and neck and head. While an in-depth treatment of the subject can't be done in a half hour, Shiatsu With Pat Morita is an excellent introduction to the subject. Highly recommended.
