massaggio shiatsu

La maggior parte delle tecniche shiatsu introdotte in Occidente piú che un trattamento medico serio si propone una pratica domestica non impegnativa.

1979, “Prefazione [Preface]”, in Stefania Bonarelli, transl., Zen Shiatsu: la terapia shiatsu secondo i principi dello Zen, Edizioni Mediterranee, translation of Zen Shiatsu - How to Harmonize Yin and Yang for Better Health by David Sergel, published 2002, page 7:

For the most part, the shiatsu techniques brought to the West aim – rather than at an actual medical treatment – at an effortless, domestic practice.

Se […] riceviamo un massaggio shiatsu sentiamo una pressione statica su un punto particolare, poi su un altro e così via.

1995, “1. La Filosofia dello Shiatsu [The Philosophy of Shiatsu]”, in Paolo Antognetti, transl., Zen Shiatsu e terapie orientali, Edizioni Mediterranee, translation of The Macrobiotic Way of Zen Shiatsu by David Sergel, page 15:

When we receive a shiatsu massage, we feel a static pressure on a particular point, then on a different one, and so on.

Ho bisogno di lavarmi, di dormire... e anche di un massaggio Shiatsu. Domattina ho udienza in tribunale.

2000, Vitaliano Ravagli, Wu Ming, “67. Bologna 14 giugno 2000 [Bologna, June 14, 2000]”, in Asce di guerra [Axes of War], page 218:

I need to take a shower, to sleep... and also a shiatsu massage. I have a court hearing tomorrow morning.
