While both types of massage are done on a mat lying on the floor, Shiatsu works the meridian points through accupressure!. Thai works the body through yoga poses!. Like art, everyone has their preferences!. You really must try them ALL out to determine which massage is the most beneficial to you!.

Thai massage feels really good, you can fall asleep while you get a full body one!. I was just in Thailand and got 3 massages while I was there, how I wish I lived there! I would get one every day!. I had problems with my leg aching a lot, it felt as if I had dislocated it, well not that bad but it disappeared after the massage!.

Shiatsu, you would be sore afterwards and may need a pain reliever!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Thai massage is sort of like Yoga!. You are basically clothed and the person stretches your body and puts you in various positions to release tight muscles!.

Shiatsu is more like triggerpoint therapy and is done applying light touch/pressure to various acupuncture points and along meridians!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
