Initially, I was a little hesitant as to whether or not  I would like the Shiatsu massage based on a prior experience.  As it turned out, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I did in fact like it.   While not as deep as other techniques, the relief factor was quite profound, loosening up the affected area.  All in all, I found that I responded well to the gentle, kneading technique.
