I've been reading about the benefits of a shiatsu massage, but what is the difference between a shiatsu and a lomi-lomi massage?

Shiatsu is a Japanese form of acupressure that uses finger pressure to stimulate acupuncture points on the body. Lomi-lomi is a traditional Hawaiian massage that focuses on the muscles and connective tissue of the body. Both are great for relaxation and pain relief, but the techniques used in each are different.
