- Swedish MassageShiatsu on the Spot uses techniques originally designed for a clothed and seated client. In contrast, "chair massage" takes Swedish massage techniques, meant for use on disrobed oiled clients lying on a table, and attempts to adapt these to a seated clothed client.
- Deep Tissue MassageShiatsu is a therapy that is very distinct from Swedish or deep-tissue massage. To properly practice it requires hundreds of hours of training. A massage therapist who takes a weekend seminar may learn a few useful techniques, but is misrepresenting themselves if they claim to be trained in shiatsu. Ask your therapist about their training and credentials.
- Chair MassageShiatsu on the Spot uses the techniques of acupressure to do more than just relax tight muscles; it works toward the balancing of all aspects of the body and the mind. And unlike chair massage, which requires clients to sit on an ungainly chair with their face pressed into an uncomfortable pad, EarthTouch's Shiatsu on the Spot seats clients on a simple dignified wooden stool.
