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

A shiatsu massage is a type of acupressure massage that focuses on specific points in the body. It uses finger pressure to stimulate energy flow through meridians in the body. Lomi-lomi is a type of Hawaiian massage that focuses on relaxing muscles and improving circulation. The therapist will use their hands, forearms, elbows, and feet to apply gentle pressure to the client's body.
