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 uses firm pressure to stimulate acupressure points in the body. It is often used to relieve pain or tension in the muscles and joints. Lomi-lomi massages use light to moderate pressure, and are designed to relax the body and help reduce stress. The technique involves long strokes along the body's surface, with gentle kneading and stretching motions.
