When the founder of Shiatsu Therapy, Tokujiro Namikoshi-sensei, was seven years old, he completely cured his mother who suffered from rheumatism. He used only his thumbs, fingers and palms in applying pressure to her body. This was the beginning of Shiatsu in 1912. His continuing studies lead him to the establishment of an anatomical and physiological theory of Shiatsu. He further developed his theory at his school, which he opened to train Shiatsu therapists. As a result of continued presentation of his work, in 1964 the Ministry of Health of the Japanese National Government recognized Shiatsu as a uniquely Japanese therapeutic treatment.
Shiatsupractor is an internationally recognized title given to those who have the appropriate education. "Shiatsupractor" is a registered trade mark belonging to the International Shiatsu Association.
In Canada, this title is granted to CSSBC members in BC and members of the Shiatsu Diffusion Society in Ontario.
In areas where there are no government regulations for Shiatsu, this title indicates that the Shiatsu Practitioner practices the original Shiatsu defined by the Ministry of Health of Japan.
