* KBS will only do massages once you are in the 2nd or third trimester. Spot treatments (specific area) can be done during the 1st trimester but only with a doctors release form.
Shiatsu: Based on the holistic system of traditional Chinese medicine, where illness is thought to result from imbalances in the natural flow of energy, or qi (pronounced "chee") through the body. Shiatsu therapists use finger and palm pressure on energetic pathways, called meridians to improve the flow of qi.
A scientific explanation is that shiatsu calms an overactive sympathetic nervous system, which improves circulation, relieves stiff muscles, and alleviates stress.
